Flight Plan Transfer Feature (optional with
software V 3.20 or later)
The Flight Plan Card feature is available for trans-
ferring flight plans to the unit via a Garmin proprietary
data card. The flight plans may be created on a PC
using flight planning software that is compatible with
Garmin equipment (Jeppesen FliteStar is an example).
In addition to the flight planning software, it is neces-
sary to purchase a flight plan transfer kit from Garmin.
The kit contains the required hardware (including a
blank data card and card programmer) and Garmin
software that must be installed on the PC. Up to 19
flight plans and 1,000 user waypoints, created using
the flight planning software, can be loaded on to a data
card via the PC software and then transferred to the
500W Unit using the procedure described below. The
process can be repeated as many times as desired using
the same card with different flight plans and user way-
points loaded. If additional data cards are desired, they
can be purchased from Garmin separately.
NOTE: Flight plans are not verified by Garmin, it is the
pilot’s responsibility to verify all flight plans.
Using the Flight Plan Card to load flight plans into
the 500W Unit:
1. With the unit powered off, remove the Terrain
Card, located in the right slot.
2. Place the Flight Plan Card in the empty right
slot.
3. Apply power to the unit.
4. Once initialization has completed, the unit will
default to the third FPL page (this third page
only exists when the Flight Plan Card is in
use).
5. Turn the small right knob to select the flight
plan file to transfer and catalog number to use.
Turn the large right knob to move between
fields. Press ENT to confirm selections and initi-
ate transfers.
