Get Started
Databases
The navigator supports SD cards in the FAT32 format only, with capacities ranging
between 8 GB and 32 GB.
Databases are stored in the unit’s internal memory. To view update cycles, or to
purchase individual databases or database packages, go to flyGarmin.com.
There are two methods for loading and updating databases. Do not attempt either
of these while in flight (on ground only).
• Load databases via SD card. Once loading completes, you may power off
the unit and remove the card.
• Transfer databases from a Flight Stream 510 wireless datacard. This
method requires the Garmin Pilot app on a portable electronic device.

Overwriting SD card
database files
When database files are loaded
to the SD card, any previously
loaded database files of the
same type residing on the SD
card will be overwritten. This
includes loading a database of a
different coverage area or data
cycle than that currently residing
on the SD card.

navigation databases, go to
