SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.4 SECURE DIGITAL CARDS
NOTE:
Refer to the Appendices for instructions on updating the navigation database.
NOTE:
Ensure that the G1000 system is powered off before inserting the SD card.
The GDU 1040A and GDU 1500 data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the top
right portion of the display bezels. Each display bezel is equipped with two SD card slots. SD cards are used
for navigation database and system software updates as well as expanded basemap, terrain, obstacle, SafeTaxi,
FliteCharts, ChartView, and AOPA Airport Directory database storage.
Not all SD cards are compatible with the G1000. Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft
manufacturer.
To
install an SD card:
• Insert the SD card in the SD card slot, pushing the card in until the spring latch engages. The front of
the card should remain flush with the face of the display bezel.
To
remove an SD card:
• Gently press on the SD card to release the spring latch and eject the card.
