Overview Appendix C Garmin Database Information The following databases are provided by Garmin: • Worldwide Basemap • • SafeTaxi • Terrain Obstacle GPS Navigation Additional Features Hazard Avoidance Flight Planning 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. NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. The Safe Taxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams aid in following ground control instructions by accurately displaying the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle and does not expire. Garmin Aviation Database Updates Appendices Index NOTE: For automotive map updates refer to http://my.garmin.com. The Garmin aviation database updates can be obtained by visiting the 'flyGarmin' website (www.fly.garmin.com). After the databases have been updated, check that the appropriate databases are initialized and displayed on the splash screen during power-up. 132 Garmin aera 500 Series Pilot's Guide 190-01117-02 Rev.
