Great tutorial... I'll hopefully having to go through this soon. Well, not "hopefully" with regards to the costs of the db... ugh that's pricey.

Ever notice how you don't actually get any support from Garmin if you are not a dealer?

Thanks! After Hours of searching, now I’m confident I can cracjk the code and actually find my GTN750XI and G3X system ID’s! Now if I could just find a way to have the G3X Touch display “% Engine Power” the way the old G3X Legacy model does🤷🏼♂

As long as you have a MAP sensor installed you can.

Can you please clarify the GTN coupon code discussed at the 7:30 mark? Are there databases updates included when purchasing a new GTN radio that are redeemed with this code?

If you remove the SD cards in the G3X, it won't save flight data or data to upload to FlyGarmin Log Books. I have a GTN 25. I should pull the SD after updating?

Yes pull the database cards from the G3X and insert blank ones for data logging.

Few things frustrate me more than the price of avionics. Not only do you first pay $50k (the price of an entire luxury car) for some hopelessly outdated computer hardware, you then have to pay a grand a year for data that the US government collects on the taxpayer's dime. (Geo-referenced plates, terrain data, airport data, it's all freely provided by the FAA/USGA). It's just... wrong.

Since when is the database card left out of the GTN? Or did you use a different card for the nav database update?
@MidwestPanels5 ай бұрын
Since the GTN Xi series came out. You now load the database into the units. Older equipment needs the card still.

Is it possible to update the Certified G3X Flight Charts and VFR/IFR charts one day early (i.e. BEFORE the current database expires), or do I have to wait until the old database expires?

@@cessna177flyer3 the G3X does not have standby database, what you load is what it will be so it would be best to have the database ready and load when needed.

@@MidwestPanels thanks for the response. I understand only one database at a time for the G3X, but I don’t see a way to put the new database on a second SD card in order to have it ready to go in the airplane when the old database expires. Garmin won’t let me install the new database until it becomes current. That seems like a HUGE flaw. And thanks for your videos. They were a huge help in learning how to fly behind my G3X/750Xi/GFC500. ******Edit******* I was finally able to update the G3X to the new cycle one day before the current database expired. In another forum, some folks stated there was a recent problem with the Garmin server, so perhaps in the future I’ll be able to update to the new cycle even earlier than one day prior.

I get that you would keep the non database card in the G3X, but I thought you were supposed to leave the database card in the GTN650? I seem to remember not having it in mine once and it was problem. Is this a difference between the 650 and 650Xi? Thanks and great video!
@MidwestPanels Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching Robert, You are correct, the GTN 650 did require it however the GTN 650Xi does not as it stores everything in the unit.

Great video, horribly antiquated technical process. Garmin needs to make this possible through a store on device or at worst through a modern mobile smart phone app.
