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
databases (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 GNC 420.
3) Remove the old terrain data card from and

insert the new card into the right-most slot of
the GNC 420.

4) Turn on the GNC 420 and verify that the

TERRAIN system passes self-test.
