worldwide.
Viewing Information about Installed Databases
The Installed Databases Page (SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > INSTALLED DATABASES)
allows users to see the databases installed on their equipment as well as their respective
versions and expiration dates. The sections below outline the various databases that are
installed in SkyView.
When viewing INSTALLED DATABASES, the sections
PROCEDURE CHARTS AND AIRPORT DIAGRAMS
FLIGHT GUIDE AIRPORT DIAGRAMS
ENROUTE CHARTS
can only display information about these databases if the USB flash drive (with the
PocketFMS / Seattle Avionics chart data) is plugged in. When the USB flash drive
with this data is not plugged in, these sections are blank.
Terrain Data
SkyView uses high resolution terrain data to display the base topographic map on the MAP
page, as well as to display Synthetic Vision on the PFD page. SV-D1000s and SV-D700s ship
preloaded with terrain data for North America (includes the continental United States, part of
Alaska, most of Canada, Mexico, part of Central America, and the West Indies). Dynon offers
downloadable high resolution terrain data files for other regions of the world on its website at
http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/terrain.html.
To update the terrain data in a SkyView display, download the appropriate file onto a USB flash
drive (a 4 GB drive is included with every SkyView display) and then reference the How to Load
and Delete Files Section of this guide for instructions on how to import the file onto a SkyView
display. Because the terrain databases are large, only one can be installed in a SkyView display
at a time. A large USB flash drive can hold multiple terrain databases for different regions of the
world. However, each region’s coverage area is chosen to cover most pilots’ needs without
having to ever switch between regions. Loading a new high resolution terrain database will
automatically delete the one previously installed on your SkyView display.
If SkyView detects that it is in an area outside of the boundaries of the High Resolution Terrain
Database currently installed on SkyView, a Caution message will be displayed:
NO HI-RES TERRAIN
This occurs most often outside North America as SkyView is (typically) shipped from the factory
with a High Resolution Terrain Database for North America. To correct this issue, install the
High Resolution Terrain Database for your region.
