Garmin Updates Available

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

There are new Garmin GPS updates available. For the 296 it's 5.9, for the 396 it's 5.1 and for the 496 it's 4.3.

 

The updates are for;

  • Improved GPS satellite acquisition processing
  • Updated magnetic variation table with IGRF 2010 model

Take your GPS home and hook it up and just download right off the computer. It takes maybe 3 min. total. The download takes about 30 seconds.

Thanks for the head's up!

 

I was going to bring my 496 home to update the aviation db (which I do a few times a year) and the obstacle db (which I do annually).

 

I'll do the system software, too.

 

BTW, I no longer bother with the AOPA update, since I have it on my iPhone.

 

And not to hijack the thread, but a Cirrus owner came up with "N Numbers" for the iPhone (and soon for the Android). Just 99¢. Stores registration info on all N numbers locally on the phone so you can look up that info whether or not you're online:
