ISSUE:

The number of approaches and volume of data in the Worldwide Navigation Database will soon exceed the limits of the database.

RESOLUTION:

Beginning with Cycle 1810 (effective September 13, 2018):

Garmin will begin restricting the number of airports included in the Worldwide Navigation Database, based on the length of the longest runway. Heliports and Airports that do not contain a runway of greater than 5000 feet will be excluded from the Worldwide Navigation Database. All associated data with excluded airports (communication frequencies, approaches, runways, etc.) will also be excluded.

Beginning with Cycle 1911 (effective October 10, 2019):

Garmin will discontinue the Worldwide Navigation Database for the affected products listed above. The Transatlantic Database will be offered in place of the Worldwide Database. Other regionalized versions of the navigation database will remain available and will have no restriction on airports within the coverage area.
