Ignoring for a moment that buying a recent obstacles database is not particularly useful for IFR training, I was wondering if anybody had any experience with doing it from the Garmin web site (without owning any Garmin hardware)...

I bought the coverage called "Worldwide-Fee" and in fact it contains three separate Navdata sets: Americas, International and Transatlantic. The price is reasonable and there are no issues whatsoever.

Extremely useful, thanks! I have just a couple of questions: In the Jeppesen site I don't see any NavData set called Transatlantic, but they sell a set called Worldwide-Fee. Assuming that they wouldn't sell a database that has been discontinued as per Service Advisory 1846 Rev B, does it mean that Worldwide-Fee is the Transatlantic database? The fact that in your table the code for transatl is ww seems to go in that direction. Do you plan to produce a similar table for the GTN?

Does anyone have evidence that the G500 Jeppesen database for worldwide coverage will work fine on the RXP GNS and GTN? Like others, in the past I bought it for Europe only and it worked, but I'd like to choose the worldwide coverage next time.

Thanks a lot for the information. I guess that this implies that this issue will never be solved (no GNS trainer with software 5.10 will ever exist).

I discovered that with a recent version of the navdata for the G600, the GNS trainer (and hence the RXP GNS) is missing some approaches. An example is the RNP RWY 24 at LSZG or the RNP RWY 10 at LSZR. The bin file is not corrupted and data from other procedures are fine. Could it be that the software version of the trainer (3.3) is not 100% compatible with the current format of the aviation database files, which prevents some approaches from being properly recognised?
