My D2 Delta PX failed to update Aviation Database over wifi

It’s failed to update the aviation database over WiFi every time. I can only update it by the cable. However my access to a computer is limited.

Please advise

Adding custom features as a visual reference to the basemap

5631164 — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 06:57:04 GMT

I would like to add custom local features, such as my operations area boundary, to the base map of my AAERA660. This is just needed as a visual reference on the map, not for navigation purposes. Can anyone assist with a way of doing this? Thanks

Garmin GPS296 Updates

My 296 currently has US maps.

if I go ahead and purchase European maps for the device, will they overwrite the current database? Or if not, is there enough capacity in the device for both?

Thanks in advance

Aera 660 05SEP24 updates not installing

I’ve tried using the Garmin USB cable and FlyGarmin on my Mac. I’ve tried updating via WiFi. I’ve tried re-installing Software Version 4.00.

When I restart, it’s shows updated and current databases. After I “Press To Accept” I get “Database Installation Ready, Databases are ready to install. Dismiss, View, Install”.

Then I’m in a never-ending loop and unable to get these databases installed.

Is there a hard reset for the Aera 660? I own two of them and the other has updated with no problems.

Thank you.
