purchase individual databases or database packages, go to flyGarmin.com.

There are two methods for loading and updating databases. Do not attempt either

of these while in flight (on ground only).

Load databases via SD card. Once loading completes, you may power off

the unit and remove the card.

Transfer databases from a Flight Stream 510 wireless datacard. This

method requires the Garmin Pilot app on a portable electronic device.
