My Basemap and Terrain Cycle is not Matching what is on flyGarmin

This support article explains why the Basemap and Terrain information displayed on your Garmin integrated flight deck, including the G1000®, G1000® NXi, G3000®, and G5000® might differ from the cycle numbers listed on the flyGarmin® website.

The database update schedule from flyGarmin will show the latest available cycle number for each specific database, including the Basemap and Terrain databases.

  • G1000: The startup page displays a software version, not a cycle number.  Use the table below to correlate the software version to the Basemap cycle.
