The aera 795/796 includes an internal navigation database that provides location
and facility information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs, and more. Updates
to the navigation database are available every 28 days online (www.fly.garmin.com).
There are two navigation database products available: the Jeppesen Navigation
Database, which is sourced by Jeppesen, and the US VFR Navigation Database sourced
by AeroNav Products, a division of the FAA. The update program is designed to operate
on Windows
®
-compatible PCs and requires the included USB cable to connect your
aera 795/796 to the PC’s USB port. The following information is provided from the
internal navigation database:
NOTE:
Although the Jeppesen Navigation Database and the US VFR Navigation
Database contain much of the same information, pilots may notice differences
in behavior, nearest list functionality, direct-to functionality, and map page
display due to data content variations. The US VFR Navigation Database, by
AeroNav Products, does not contain any approach data.
