September 16, 20196 yr Does anyone have a copy of the TERRAIN.TDB and worldwide.bin files they can share from the GTN Trainer from version 6.01.1, before the format was changed with version 6.21.1? I think version 6.01.1 was the last iteration that worked plug-and-play with the reality xp gauge and it was from 2016. A lot changed in the WAAS world between the provided database date of 2009 and 2016. I looked everywhere online for the GTN trainer version 6.01.1 and it doesnt exists anymore. Only 6.21.1 is available. Thanks!
September 16, 20196 yr I don't think you'll have much luck for two reasons - the databases are still Garmin's property even though they're expired and you might be running foul of Avsim's TOS by posting your request. David Porrett
September 16, 20196 yr Not sure what the value is of those two databases.. the actual geography does not change much in 7 years.. The navdata is the one that changes monthly.. Edit: Correction... The second database is the one you want. The first one stays the same. Edited September 16, 20196 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
September 16, 20196 yr Author I was under the impression that when you update that worldwide.bin file, then procedures like newer departures and approaches show up in the reality xp 530 unit? When the database is from 2009 then some airports that do have RNAV approaches say there are none. I thought worldwide.bin would partially fix that, at least to the date it was current to. Maybe that’s not correct though?

If you have access to real world Garmin unit, you may be able to copy over a file copy and use it in your simulator. Check your PM. Edited September 16, 20196 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
November 9, 20196 yr I know this thread is a bit old, but is there a way to update the navdata in the 530? I sent an email to Garmin and was pleased to get a reply, but was just advised to contact Realityxp. I am frequently looking for waypoints that the 530 does not have in its database. I would pay for uupdated navdata. Thanks. Martin
