I'm planning a long xc this summer in the RV-4 I bought a couple of months ago. The Apollo GX55 gps database is pretty old. I'd like to update it before I go on the trip.
The Garmin website pointed me to the Jeppesen site. That site says to call them about it. From what I gather, I'll probably need to download the new database and program the card myself. Jeppesen sells a card programmer (Skybound USB) for about $150. However, I've already got a couple of USB card programers. One is a "universal" type that programs many different flash memory formats. I'm wondering if I can use that and avoid paying for a seemingly redundant device. Do any of you guys know?
Thanks in advance,
