Garmin announced a new, cost-effective Garmin Navigation Database, single navigator bundles and all-inclusive OnePak database options for select Garmin avionics and portables. OnePak database packages allow customers to download databases to multiple Garmin avionics and one portable in a single aircraft for one low price. The Garmin Navigation Database and OnePaks are initially available for North America. These new packages and data services give pilots additional database purchase options, added flexibility and more simplicity associated with database management.
“For over 25 years, we have been supporting aviation data across our entire product line and pilots have trusted us with their navigation needs to help them get to their destinations,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “With the introduction of the new Garmin Navigation Database and OnePak options, we’ve created the most convenient and affordable way to keep aviation databases up-to-date within Garmin avionics.”
New, cost-effective Garmin Navigation Database
The Garmin Navigation Database offers a trusted and convenient path to incorporate the latest database information within select Garmin avionics. Data such as instrument procedures, frequencies and airport data are included in this database, which offers cost-effective solutions for VFR and IFR flight. For example, U.S. coverage of the new Garmin Navigation Database starts at $129 for a single update and $299 for an annual subscription for the GTN™ 650/750 touchscreen series or GNS™ 430W/530W navigators.
Single navigator bundle
Database subscription bundles are available for a single Garmin navigator such as the GNS 430W/530W starting at $449, which includes the Garmin Navigation Database, Obstacles and Terrain. A single navigator bundle for the GTN 650 starts at $499 and includes the Garmin Navigation Database, Obstacles, SafeTaxi® and Terrain.
OnePak annual database updates for an entire aircraft, including a portable
Pilots are offered significant savings with OnePak annual database subscriptions, which combines the Garmin Navigation Database with many other Garmin databases to provide additional data options that suit their needs. For one annual price, databases within OnePak subscriptions can be downloaded to multiple Garmin avionics and one qualifying portable in a single aircraft. A variety of economical regions are available, such as the United States OnePak for $649, which includes the Garmin Navigation Database, AOPA Airport Directory, IFR enroute charts, VFR sectional charts, Obstacles, SafeTaxi, Terrain and Basemap for compatible products.
