FloridaMan Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 The SD card in my 696 is a few years old and a lot has changed. Anyone here have a full subscription that would be willing to update me with a previous cycle's data so my 696 can be less out of date? I pretty much use it for traffic and weather, but it would be nice if the airport identifiers were a bit more current. Quote

Included everything, even approach plates and worldwide data. Looks like it works for the 430/530/GTN/G1000, etc too. Edited July 4, 2020 by FloridaMan 1 Quote

Add your 696 to your Garmin account by the ID number (menu, menu, scroll to database info at the bottom, near the bottom you’ll see the ID number). Then load the data onto the SD card. Install SD card in 696. It will ask if you want to update, say yes, wait for like 10x as long as it takes to update a 430W data card. Database is then updated. Quote
