System Description
Databases
NOTE
The GDU supports SD cards in the FAT32 format only, with capacities
ranging between 8 GB and 32 GB.
Databases are stored in the internal memory of each display. To view update cycles,
or to purchase individual databases or database packages, go to
flyGarmin.com .
The TXi system offers three methods for loading and updating databases:
1. Load databases via SD card. The card can be removed after loading.
2. Transfer databases from a GTN or another GDU using Database SYNC.
3. Transfer databases from a mobile device using Database Concierge and a
Flight Stream 510 wireless datacard.
[1] Optional third party database.
[2] When updated, the database is packaged with the Navigation database. Not available for
individual download.
