Bill,

I have not done the update yet but it looks straight forward and simple.

If all goes well it should be a 15 minute upgrade unlike the G900X which

can be 90 minutes to 3 hours to upgrade (assuming you do EVERYTHING

right).

Here are the steps as I understand them:



Download v.6.2 from Garmin site

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downloadsUpdates.jsp?product=010-00G3X-0

0&cID=155&pID=63892

Save to computer desktop (or file)

Insert blank SD card (2-4 Gb max)

Double Click Downloaded file click to execute which will need to be

extract onto the SD card



Power up and install one screen at a time to update



Then Update the GSU 73 (slightly more difficult than updating the screens)

Place GSU in "Configuration Mode" by holding left soft key on PFD while

powering on the unit.

Scroll to GSU folder

Hit Update Software

Good luck,

Robin

Robin, Bill, 



I just want to add:

It is nice to update the databases at the same time since you are already inserting the SD cards.  Also, if you want to add your own checklist now is the time.  I keep the 6.2 version or whatever on one card and the databases, checklists, flight logs on another.  I have two 4gb cards that do everything.  Just like you said Robin, you plug each card into each screen and the EFIS will ask if you want to update.  It is easy.  The GSU is just as you said too.  It doesn't ask for the GSU update until you are in Config mode on PFD1.



Note: You don't have to save file to computer.  You can have your SD card plugged in and it will go straight to it.
