1 Garmin G1000 Database Loading G1000 ChartView Update Jeppesen ChartView works on a 14-day cycle. Uploading at the aircraft does not take a great deal of time and can normally be done on battery power, but a GPU is advised. The following steps outline the procedure for updating ChartView. 1) Remove the lower Garmin SD card from the MFD. (Figure 1) GARMIN LOWER SD CARD Figure 1 2) Place the MFD lower SD card in the SD card adapter of your computer. 3) With the computer connected to the internet, open Jeppesen Distribution Manager (JDM).

4 G1000 NavData Update Jeppesen NavData works on a 28-day cycle. Uploading at the aircraft does not take a great deal of time and can normally be done on battery power, but a GPU is advised. The following steps outline the procedure for updating the NavData. 1) Locate the spare SD card for NavData updates. Warning: It is very important not to use one of the SD cards that reside in the displays. It must be a separate card. 2) Place the card in the SD card adapter of your computer. 3) With the computer connected to the internet, open Jeppesen Distribution Manager (JDM). Enter the user ID and password. (Figure 1) Figure 1 4) The Distribution Manager will display all the available databases in your account. 5) Scroll down to Garmin G NavData with the correct cycle & effective date.
