Aviation database updates are provided by Garmin and may be downloaded from the Garmin web site “fly.garmin.com” onto a Garmin provided Supplemental data card. Contact Garmin at fly.garmin.com for aviation database updates and update kits. The Aviation database is stored internally and the data card is only used to transfer the database into the unit. The optional ChartView database is updated on a 14 day cycle. The ChartView database is provided directly from Jeppesen. ChartView is an optional feature that requires enablement by a Garmin dealer. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen. com) for ChartView subscription and update information. Updating the Jeppesen Aviation Database 1) With the G500 System OFF, insert the SD card containing the aviation database update into the upper card slot of the GDU 620 to be updated (label of SD card should face up). 2) Turn the G500 System ON. 3) Verify the correct update cycle is loaded during power-up . Press the ENT key to continue or the CLR key to cancel loading. Figure A-1 Database Initialization Display
