Yesterday was time to do my first database update on my GTN 650.
I'd been concerned about how long it would take, and whether I should hook up outside power to avoid draining my batteryin the event, I just swapped data cards in the GPS, turned on the battery and avionics master, and everything was done in a few seconds. Nice!
Also, I was flying into an airport surrounded by hills (Mont Laurier, CSD4), and the default terrain colouringincluding the 3,000 ft hill a few miles to the northpopped up on the GTN at exactly the right moment, which would have been a comfort in IMC.
