Terrain Database Information
Database Updates
Terrain/obstacle databases are updated periodi-
cally 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.
The database update process includes either
reprogramming or replacing the database card and
inserting the updated card in the right card slot on the
unit front panel. The terrain/obstacle database may
be downloaded via the intenet and the card repro-
grammed using a USB programmer available from
Garmin. Contact Garmin at 800-800-1020 or at www.
garmin.com for more information.
To update the terrain or obstacle database:
1. Acquire a new terrain data card from
Garmin.
2. Turn off the power to the 500W Series unit.
3. Remove the old terrain data card from and
insert the new card into the right-most slot of
the 500W Series unit.
4. Turn on the 500W Series unit and verify that the
TERRAIN system passes the self-test. The “TER
TEST” annunciator will clear after checking and
no failure message appears.
