Foreword Sec 1 System Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Appendix A SD Card Use and Databases The G500 System uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as database updates. Jeppesen Databases The navigation database is updated on a 28 day cycle. Navigation database updates are provided by Garmin and may be downloaded from the Garmin web site "fly.garmin.com" onto a Garmin provided Supplemental Datacard. Contact Garmin at fly.garmin.com for navigation database updates and update kits. The Navigation database is stored internally and the Datacard is only used to transfer the database into the unit. The optional ChartView database is updated on a 14 day cycle. The ChartView database is provided directly from Jeppesen. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen. com) for ChartView subscription and update information. Updating the Jeppesen navigation database 1) With the G500 System OFF, insert the SD card containing the navigation database update into the upper card slot of the GDU 620 to be updated (label of SD card should face up). 2) Turn the G500 System ON. 3) Verify the correct update cycle is loaded during power-up.
