GTN 750 Not Loading Databases (resolved)

[khanh01 0]

Just purchased and installed a copy of RXP GTN 750 on FSX platform.  After configuring the GTN for an FSX aircraft, the GTN startup screen showed "Database Not Found".

SW Version:  6.62.0 TRNG

Reality XP:  2.5.25

Hi,

During the Garmin trainer installation, did you select Databases + GTN ?

Did you select another drive than C:\ for the databases otherwise?

Hello,

same Problem now with Update.

The GTN 750 show: database not found.

I complete uninstall RXP 750 and Garmin Trainer.

New install RXP and Trainer.

The Path for the database and large files can be change in Garmin Trainer installation Menu

to another Drive as Drive C. And i do this to Drive D.

Again: The GTN 750 show: database not found.

What can i do?

 

Greetings

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delay.

There might be a problem when installing the database to another drive like you did.

If you're feeling confident enough with regedit, can you please let me know the value of the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\Trainers\BinPath

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\Trainers\DataPath

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\Trainers\DBDataPath

Greetings

I'm getting db not found.

My binpath C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\Trainers\

My DataPath C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\

My DBDataPath regedit entry does not exist

@bic Hi,

did you install the Trainer database in "C:" ?

Do you have any of the following files in C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\Databases :

• nav_db2.bin
• nav_db2_grm.bin

I ended up reinstalling and those two are there now.

I moved the Garmin Trainer database to a bigger hard drive on my pc last week and now my GTN 750 in P3D says "Navigation Database Not Found..." and "Charts Not Available" and just a black background on the map page. I reinstalled RXP but no luck. What am I doing wrong? I don't really want to move the database back to C:\

I might be wrong here but I think the Trainer is meant to be installed in its default location.

I am experiencing the same issue described above. I have the database downloaded to my e:/ drive, but the GTN trainer and the GTN in X-plane say the "Database Not Found", and shows a blank black background when I turn it on.

I have found the applicable lines in Regedit, but I don't know how to make it right.

BinPath C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\Trainers\

DataPath C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\

DBDataPath does not exeist.

GtiExePath E:\Garmin\Launcher\GTI\GTI.exe

LauncherExePath E:\Garmin\Launcher\Aviation_Trainer_Launcher.exe

The below referenced files are on my E: drive.

• nav_db2_grm.bin

There is also the 1GB terrain.tdb file in the same folder.

I have read the entire RealityXP manual several times, and re-read page 21 several times more. I don't know what I am supposed to do with that information.

Thanks for your help!

I would like to let you know that I was able to fix this issue myself, and I'm a little embarrassed at how easy it was to fix. I just uninstalled the Garmin GTN Trainer application, and then reinstalled from nothing. I even removed all of the databases during the uninstall process.

Once I reinstalled everything and it asked where the data should reside, I told it to go to the E: drive. 

Now it works!
