New Garmin Navigation Database & Database Bundle Options

Brian,
I'm guessing there are technical limitations excluding the 400W from the new nav bundles?
Thanks, Andy

Hey Brian,

Great news about the new database options!

Will the new package options affect the free database update that's available for each new G3X Touch system? We would like to send each new airplane out the door with a current database, and trying to figure out how to do that for no less than 3 new airplanes this week before OSH...

Can we still use our existing Skybound II USB that we use for Jeppesen update for the 430W Nav DB? AT $299 a year, looks to be a saving of $30 annually.

Hi Brian, wondering if the GNS-430 (non-waas) is included in the reduced navigation database pricing as well?

Thank you.

And if not, will you have the Garmin brand at OSH for purchase?

All 4XXW/5XXW as well as GTN 6XX/7XX models are compatible with the new bundles. So the GPS 400W is included. Some of these products don't show the new options on flyGarmin yet this week but will be added very soon.

Thanks,
Brian

The coupon code should let you choose any database option that is supported on a given product for the one time free update. Including the new Garmin navigation database. If you have any issues, please shoot us an email at g3xpert@garmin.com and we'll get it straightened out.

Thanks,
Brian

No, unfortunately the non-WAAS units will not use the new Garmin Navigation database which is where the savings comes in.

Thanks,
Brian

Garmin will not be selling anything directly at Oshkosh, but we will have dealers on site. I haven't been able to confirm if any of those dealers will have these in stock yet. If you have a strong need to purchase at Oshkosh, please contact us directly at g3xpert@garmin.com and we'll do what we can to link you with a dealer with inventory if possible.

Thanks,
Brian

I have a One Pack subscription for my 750 and appreciate that I can now add my 430W......thanks! Can I add my portable 560 to this subscription, as well?

This makes for loyal Garmin customers.
