1.8.2 Navigation Database
The Jeppesen navigation database provides the GTN with the required information for displaying flight
plan information.
The GTN utilizes a database stored on an SD memory data card for easy updating and replacement. The
navigation database may be updated by inserting an updated navigation database update card into the
vertical SD card slot on the left side of the GTN. The actual database is downloaded into the unit, so the
card can be removed after the update. Each card will only update one system. Alternately, the navigation
database may be updated by copying the database to the Garmin-supplied Supplemental Data card. It will
be downloaded into the GTN on first use, and the file can be left on the Supplemental Data card until the
next update cycle.
The navigation database on the GTN database card is generated from current Jeppesen Sanderson data
and converted to a format that is used by the GTN. The data conversion process is performed using
software that is developed and maintained under Garmin configuration management according to
RTCA/DO-200A, Level 1, 2, Standards for Processing Aeronautical Data. GTN users update their
database card by purchasing database subscription updates from Garmin. The database card is
programmed using an SD card reader. Contact Garmin at 866-739-5687,

or

1.8.3 FliteCharts® Database (GTN 7XX Only)
FliteCharts resemble the paper version of AeroNav Services (formerly named National Aeronautical
Charting Office) terminal procedures charts. The charts are displayed with high-resolution and in color
for applicable charts. FliteCharts database subscription is available from Garmin. The FliteCharts
database is stored on the GTN SD card. When viewing these charts on the GTN, the aircraft position is
not depicted on the chart. The FliteCharts database is updated by removing the database card from the
GTN, updating the database on the card and reinserting the card. Each card can only be used with one
system. GTN users update their database card by purchasing database subscription updates from Garmin.
The database card is programmed using an SD card reader. Contact Garmin at 866-739-5687
or
www.fly.garmin.com for more information and instructions.
1.8.4 ChartView™ Database (GTN 7XX Only)
ChartView resembles the paper version of Jeppesen terminal procedures charts. The charts are displayed
in full color with high-resolution. The GTN depiction shows the aircraft position on the moving map in
the plan view of approach charts and on airport diagrams. The ChartView database is stored on the SD
memory card that remains in the GTN for normal operation. The ChartView database is updated by
removing the database card from the GTN, updating the database on the card and reinserting the card.
Each card can only be used with one system. GTN users update their ChartView data by purchasing
database subscription updates from Jeppesen Sanderson. The database card is programmed using an SD
card reader and Jeppesen-provided software. Contact Jeppesen at 800-621-5377 or
www.jeppesen.com
for more information and instructions.
ChartView is an optional feature that must be activated for use. Instructions for activating the ChartView
function are found in Section 5.5.2.2.
