Garmin GPSmap 296

[Whack777]

Trying to update Jeppesen Pacific Data to GPSmap 296 and can't seem to find any links. The garmin shop is not coming up.

 

Anyone know the best way to do this. Can it still be done??? I haven't updated for a while.

 

Regards

I had to update my Pacific Aviation Database on my 296 a few months ago after the GPS decided to wipe it.

 

You should be able to register with a logon from the Garmin website:

 

http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/us/intheair/

 

Once you've created your logon account you should be able to purchase a new database for your Garmin GPS, from what I remember when doing it you're using your PC to download the new database directly from the website onto your GPS which makes it kind of hard to keep a backup on your PC. I suppose this is to protect their copyright.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Glen

 

All done! Spent ages this afternoon trying to find it ... came home and you had the answer for me. Current upgrade $60.00 for 1 off or $330.00 for year.
