DATABASE AUTO SWAP
When an expired, active database has a standby database that is ready to become effective,
a cyan arrow will be displayed between the database cycles. When this arrow is visible, it in-
dicates the standby and active databases in that row will be switched on the next power cycle,
activating the current standby database. The auto swap process may be inhibited if desired by
touching the
Inhibit Auto Swap
Button.
Inhibiting / Enabling database auto swap:
1)

A 32 GB SD (or FS 510 card as a storage device) card can be used to perform database
updates. Only cards provided by Garmin or the OEM should be used. In the event there is a
file corruption problem with the SD card, it may be necessary to reformat the card. This can
cause an issue when formatting using Mac OS, where the newly formatted device will not be
recognized by the avionics system. When using a Macintosh computer to format the SD card,
Garmin recommends using the SD Memory Card Formatter application made available by the
SD Association as a download from sdcard.org. When running the application, use the Quick
Format option.
NOTE:
Use of SD cards that are not Garmin or OEM provided may cause system
malfunctions when left in the MFD after the databases are loaded.
All databases can be updated through a single SD card in the bottom slot of the MFD. Data-
base updates can be obtained by following the instructions detailed in the ‘Aviation Databases’
section of the Garmin website (flygarmin.com). Once the updated files have been downloaded
from the website, a personal computer equipped with an appropriate card reader is used to
unpack and program the new databases onto an existing card. When database files are loaded
to the card, any previously loaded database files of the same type residing on the card will be
overwritten. This includes loading a database of a different coverage area or data cycle than
the currently residing on the card. Equipment required to perform the update is as follows:
– PC with Window Vista or later/Mac with OS X 10.9 or later
– SD card Reader: SanDisk SDDR-93, SanDisk SDDR-99, Verbatim #96504, or equivalent.
– Updated databases obtained from the Garmin website.
– Garmin or OEM provided 32 GB SD card
