GaryP1007 Posted August 16, 2023 Report Posted August 16, 2023 Updating my G1000 and for some reason the unit now does not recognize the terrain download. I downloaded it twice, using two new data cards, and still nothing. Could I have done something wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

There are a couple options on the Garmin site for Terrain database, however terrain doesn't change often so you don't have to update very often. Make sure that if you did download an update that you downloaded the correct one. If you have Synthetic Vision then you need the larger Terrain Database (higher resolution), 4.9 I believe. 2 Quote

Ragsf15e Posted August 17, 2023 Report Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Personally, since terrain doesn’t change, I don’t update it once you’ve got it working… The terrain files are really big and have caused me issues in the past. Edited August 17, 2023 by Ragsf15e Quote

I would call Garmin Aviation Product Support at 1-866-739-5687 Quote

I’ve duplicated the card from the one that works but seems like something is missing. I’ll keep plugging away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
