1.8.5 SafeTaxi
®
Database
SafeTaxi diagrams provide detailed taxiway, runway, and ramp information at more than 900 airports in
the United States. The data conversion process is performed using software that is developed and
maintained under Garmin configuration management according to RTCA/DO-200A, Level 2, Standards
for Processing Aeronautical Data.
The SafeTaxi database is stored internally in the GTN for normal operation. The SafeTaxi 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
