Base map and Cultural Data
Base map and Cultural data is available free-of-charge for all customers for customers
worldwide. This database contains roads, city names, railroads, rivers, and political boundaries.
Like the terrain database, it is partitioned into different regions. Download the basemap
database for your region from the Dynon website.
Go to
to download the above databases to a USB flash
drive. Reference the Loading Databases section below of this guide for instructions on how to
import the file onto a SkyView display.
Loading Databases
1. Download database file(s) fro
Jeppesen, or
PocketFMS.
a. If you’ve downloaded data from the Dynon website or PocketFMS: Copy the file
onto your USB flash drive. The file must be in the root directory of the drive in
order to be recognizable by the display
b. If you’ve purchased data from Jeppesen: It is important that the Jeppesen JSUM
program is used to place the Jeppesen data on the USB flash drive that will be
used to load the data onto SkyView. If you manually copy Jeppesen data onto a
USB flash drive, it will not load onto your SkyView system.
2. Insert the USB flash drive into one of the display’s USB sockets.
3. Go to the Load Files Wizard (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SOFTWARE > LOAD FILES…).
4. Select a file and press:
a. LOAD to load the file onto the system.
5. Exit Setup
6. In SkyView systems that have more than one display, databases are automatically
synchronized to other connected displays provided that those displays are connected
via Ethernet. If they are, and you have the MAP page up on other displays, you may see
a SYNCHRONIZING DATABASES message appear as this process occurs, followed by a
display reboot. If you do not have your displays connected via Ethernet, simply load the
database to each screen individually.
Removing Databases
SkyView automatically removes old databases when new ones are installed. Databases can also
be removed manually by going to SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > INSTALLED
DATABASES. Highlight the database you wish to remove, and then press the REMOVE button.
Aviation Data updates are published periodically by Dynon, PocketFMS, and
Jeppesen. It is the user’s responsibility stay current with these updates and keep
their equipment up to date.
