FS510 Issues

[Pinecone]

I learned something.  If you are having issues with updating the database through the FS510, make sure your airplane is OUTSIDE and tracking satellites.

It seems to update properly, the GPS needs a current time update.

I had an issue and called Garmin and we worked through a number of things, but what solved the issue was taking the plane outside and waiting for it to lock onto a few sats.

Thank you!! That may explain it. I had some issues too and I was wondering what it was

Thanks.  I'll be trying my very first FS510 update on Saturday.

With a brand new computer, no less.

Another tip is the contacts on the card need to be exercised by ejecting and reinstalling multiple times. I thought I had a bad card but finally work through the issue.
