Database Updates
Terrain/obstacle databases are updated periodically
with the latest terrain and obstacle data. Visit the Garmin
website to check for newer versions of terrain/obstacle da-
tabases (compare database cycle numbers to determine if
a newer version is available). Updated terrain data cards
may be obtained by calling Garmin at one of the numbers
listed in the front of this document.
Updating terrain/obstacle databases:
1) Acquire a new terrain data card from
Garmin.
2) Turn off the power to the GNS 530.
3) Remove the old terrain data card from and
insert the new card into the right-most slot of
the 500 Series unit.
4) Turn on the GNS 530 and verify that the TAWS
system passes self-test.
