Default Garmin offline

It appears all the Garmin web servers are offline, I was going to update my 430W database and all I get is 503 error, no servers available.

That's great, as long as nobody needs to shoot an approach with a new procedure...

Hi Greg,

At which point in the process are you having issues? We just ran a database update to an SD card for a G3X and it went through as it normally does.

If you have a screenshot maybe we can identify where the issue originates from. You can email it over to G3Xpert@Garmin.com if you would like.

Thanks,

Justin

Garmin.com and flygarmin.com were both giving me a 503 error, no servers available. I just tried again and it seems to be working now - will download my updates.

Finally got my card updated - took most of an hour, whereas it usually takes about 3 minutes. Definitely something going on with the Garmin servers.
