Default Do I need the latest database updates?

I believe I read before that in the previous version update, that the database structure was changed, and that you would need to update your map and other databases,to the new format, in order to use the new software update.

Can you please confirm this? I am using an older database because I do not yet have my instrument rating, and have been using the GTN 650 with my Dynon EFIS for practice only.

Hello,

Yes, the note at the bottom of page 7 of the service bulletin states "New format Navigation databases were introduced for GTN Main Software Version 6.21
and are required.
".

You can purchase a single Garmin U.S. Navigation database update for your GTN 650 for $129.

Thanks,
Steve

I just started playing with my new rv7a with gtn750+g3x (+g5+gnc255) and deciding which databases to install (I?m based in Europe). The gtn came with an additional ?international database card? that stopped working the moment I upgraded gtn software from 6.11 to 6.41, which was expected as per Garmin instructions. I want to order a new ?one time? database update for the gtn for Europe: I heard the new type databases (after 6.21 gtn software version), contain vrp waypoints: do I need to ask explicitly for them in my order, or they come as standard with the new type of gtn databases (for Europe)?
