TERRAIN

Database Updates

Terrain/obstacle  databases  are  updated  periodically 

with the latest terrain and obstacle data.  Visit the Garmin 
website  to  check  for  newer  versions  of  terrain/obstacle 

databases (compare database cycle numbers to determine 
if a newer version is available).  Updated terrain data cards 

may be obtained by calling Garmin at one of the numbers 
listed in the front of this document.

Updating terrain/obstacle databases:

1)  Acquire  a  new  terrain  data  card  from 

Garmin.

2)  Turn off the power to the GNS 430.
3)  Remove  the  old  terrain  data  card  from  and 

insert the new card into the right-most slot of 
the GNS 430.

4)  Turn  on  the  GNS  430  and  verify  that  the 

TERRAIN system passes self-test.
