When your watch is connected to a Wi‑Fi® wireless network, database updates are downloaded automatically overnight. You can also manually sync with the database at any time.
do a sync with Garmin Connect before. Then long press Light (upper left button) until watch shutdown, then short press on the same button for starting it.
On both my MARQ Aviator Gen2 and tactix 7 AMOLED, I have noticed that the aviation database is automatically updated after I sync with Garmin Express on my PC.
There is no notification of this update, it is only noticed when scrolling through System > About to check the database status.
I was pleasantly surprised, and realized that I no longer have to manually update the database separately.
I can understand how Garmin would decide to eliminate the database update function in the Wi-Fi menu in light of this new functionality, but I think they could have left it as is as a redundancy to the automatic update in Express - IOW, it would be better to have both.
