Messages
The 500W-series unit uses a flashing “MSG” annun-
ciator at the bottom of the screen (directly above the MSG
key) to alert you of any important information or warnings.
While most messages are advisory in nature, warning mes-
sages may require your intervention. Whenever the “MSG”
annunciator flashes, press the MSG key to display the
message, when pilot workload allows. Press MSG again to
return to the previous page.
The following is a list of available messages and their mean-
ings:
ABORT APPROACH — Loss of Navigation — Execute
missed approach using other navigation equipment.
Airport terrain database integrity error — The 500W-
series unit has detected a problem with a database on the
TAWS/Terrain data card. The message “<database name>
database integrity error” indicates the data base in error.
The data is not usable and the card should be returned to
your Garmin dealer.
Airspace ahead — less than 10 minutes — Your GPS-
calculated course is projected to enter a special use airspace
within 10 minutes. This message is automatically disabled
within 30 NM of an arrival airport, when an approach is
loaded.
Airspace near and ahead — Your GPS-calculated
position is within 2 NM of the boundary of a special use
airspace and your course is projected to enter the airspace
within 10 minutes. This message is automatically disabled
within 30 NM of an arrival airport, when an approach is
loaded.
