SD CARD USE
The G1000 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 Jeppesen aviation and ChartView database
updates.
CAUTION: Do not load Jeppesen navigation data (except ChartView) onto Garmin Supplemental Data
Cards.
NOTE: Loading a database in the system prior to it’s effective date will result in the expiration date on the
power-up screen and the effective date on the AUX-SYSTEM STATUS Page being displayed in yellow.
jEPPESEN DATAbASES
The Jeppesen aviation database is updated on a 28-day cycle. The ChartView database is updated on a 14-
day cycle. If the ChartView database is not updated within 70 days of the expiration date, ChartView will no
longer function.
Both of these databases are provided directly from Jeppesen. The ChartView database should be copied to the
Garmin supplied Supplemental Data Card which will reside in the bottom card slot on the MFD. The aviation
database must be installed from the Jeppesen or user supplied SD data card. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.
com) for subscription and update information.
NOTE: After the aviation database is installed, the card may be removed.
Updating the Jeppesen aviation database:

of the PFD to be updated (Label of SD card facing left).
