GPS F.A.Q.

Q. How do I update the database in my handheld GPS unit?

A. Most Garmin handheld aviation units' databases are updated via your PC. Garmin distributes their Jeppesen database updates on 3.5" floppy diskettes. These diskettes also contain the transfer software which will enable you to download the database from the diskette into your GPS unit from an IBM-compatible PC. In addition to the update diskettes, you will also need a PC Interface cable to connect the GPS unit to the serial port of your PC. Some older model Garmin handheld units have the Jeppesen database stored on an Integrated Circuit chip inside the unit. To update the database on these models, you'll need to contact Garmin directly at 1-800-800-1020 or 913-397-8200.
