GARMIN DATABASES
The following G1000 databases are stored on Supplemental Data Cards provided by Garmin:
• Expanded basemap
• Terrain
• Airport terrain
• Obstacle
• SafeTaxi
• FliteCharts
A Supplemental Data Card should be inserted into the bottom card slot of the PFD and the MFD and not
removed except for updating the card. If one of the Supplemental Data Cards contains the ChartView database,
or the FliteCharts database, this card must be inserted into the bottom card slot on the MFD.
Since these databases are not stored internally in the MFD or PFD, a Supplemental Data Card containing
identical database versions must be kept in each display unit.
The basemap database contains data for the topography and land features, such as rivers, lakes, and towns.
It is updated only periodically, with no set schedule. There is no expiration date.
The terrain and airport terrain databases contain the terrain mapping and airport diagram data. They are
updated periodically and have no expiration date.
