Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database.  Power interruption during the 

database loading process could result in maintenance being required to reboot the system.

The system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data.  For basic flight operations, 

SD cards are required for database storage as well as Jeppesen navigation and ChartView database updates.  Not 
all SD cards are compatible with the G1000.  Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft manufacturer.

When downloading updates to the Jeppesen Navigation Database, copy the data to an SD card 

other than a Garmin Supplemental Data Card.  Otherwise, data corruption can occur.

When loading database updates, the ‘DB Mismatch’ message will be displayed until database 

synchronization is complete, followed by turning system power off, then on.  Synchronization can be 
monitored on the AUX-SYSTEM STATUS Page. 

Loading a database in the system prior to its effective date will result in the expiration date on the 

power-up screen and the effective date on the AUX-System Status Page being displayed in yellow.

Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. 

These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles 
and fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground.  Go 
to FlyGarmin.com and select “Aviation Data Error Report.

The Jeppesen navigation database is updated on a 28-day cycle.  The ChartView database is updated on a 

14-day cycle.  If the ChartView database is not updated within 70 days of the expiration date, ChartView will 
no longer function.  Both of these databases are provided directly from Jeppesen.  

The Jeppesen aviation navigation database is now referred to as the ‘navigation database’.  Previously 

this database had been referred to as the ‘aviation database’. 

The ChartView database should be copied to the Garmin supplied Supplemental Data Card which will reside 

in the bottom card slot on the MFD.  The navigation database must be installed from the Jeppesen or user 
supplied SD data card.  Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.com) for subscription and update information.

After the navigation database is installed, the card may be removed.
