GARMIN DATABASE INFORMATION
The following databases are provided by Garmin:
• Worldwide Basemap
• Terrain
• Obstacle
• SafeTaxi
• FliteCharts
The basemap database contains data for the topography and land features, such as
rivers, lakes, and towns. It is updated only periodically, with no set schedule. There is
no expiration date.
The terrain database contains the terrain mapping data. The database is updated
periodically and has no expiration date.
The obstacle database contains data for obstacles, such as towers, that pose a
potential hazard to aircraft. Obstacles 200 feet and higher are included in the obstacle
database. It is very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and
therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database. This database is updated on
a 56-day cycle and does not expire.
