The Garmin databases can be updated by following the instructions detailed in the “Navigation Databases” section of the Garmin web site (fly.garmin.com). Once the updated files have been downloaded from the web site, a PC equipped with an appropriate SD card reader is used to unpack and program the new databases onto the existing Supplemental Data Cards. The following equipment is required to perform the update:

Windows-compatible PC computer (Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows

7 recommended)

SanDisk SD Card Reader, P/Ns SDDR-93 or SDDR-99 or equivalent card reader

Updated database obtained from the Garmin web site

Existing Supplemental Database SD Card (P/N 010-00769-42)

It may be necessary to have the system configured by a Garmin authorized service facility in order to use certain database features.

Updating Garmin Databases

1)Download the data to the data cards from the appropriate web site.

2)Insert the Database SD card in an empty card slot of the GDU 620. The SD card containing the ChartView, FliteCharts, SafeTaxi, or any other database (except for the Jeppesen Aviation Database) is typically inserted into the lower slot on the GDU 620.

3)Apply power to the G600 System.View the MFD power-up splash screen. Check that the databases are initialized and displayed on the splash screen. When updating the terrain and FliteCharts databases, an “in progress” message may be seen. If this message is present, wait for the system to finish loading before proceeding. Some databases can take up to 15 minutes to update.
