Hi All,

In concert with Matt, I have compiled the latest, FAA, GPX and obstical data for the G1 and G2 systens.

I will keep up the currency of the file as the FAA releases the data. Again this is experimental so use accordingly.

The link for download is as follows,

http://www.mglavionics.com/Navidata.ewd

The current file is dated 08-23-2011

This is the September 2011 Cycle release

I recommend you read the following as copied from the SA web site with a few changes.

Navidata file download for coverage region USA as determined by NACO/FAA
This is a new navidata file download available from MGL Avionics. Please consider this "experimental".

The Navidata file is based on NACO publication "National Flight Database (NFD)".

About this Navidata file:

This Navidata file is intended for use with Odyssey and Voyager G1 or G2 systems. This file is not intended for use with Enigma systems.

Obstacles (FAA/NACO); Note: Obstacles are currently implemented on G2 systems only (version 1.0.0.6 or higher)

Requirements: To use this file, please ensure that both simulator and EFIS firmware are at the following minimum version numbers.
Do not use this navidata file with earlier versions as this can lead to serious system malfunction, upgrade is mandatory.
G1: Version 1.2.0.2
G2: Version 1.0.0.6




G1 systems:
Copy file to SD card and using "Installation tasks", install the file onto your EFIS.
Alternatively, copy file to SD card and use from SD card. This option can be used if you want to use a second, installed Navidata file. The G1 system will use the Navidata file installed on the SD card if such a file exists, even if a file has been installed.

G2 systems:
If this is the only navidata file you will be using:
Use "installation tasks" to install the navidata file onto your EFIS.
If you would like to use more than one navidata file:
The last letter of the "navidata" word is a "region code" from "a" to "z". Change this letter as required for your system, for example "navidatb.ewd". Install the file onto your system using "installation tasks". Then select the desired navidata file to be active using the region selection in your "NAV" selection menu (left hand keys).
