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.
