Simple -
Unscrew the 2 large screws and open the back. You'll see a silver 'flash' card slotted in. You just swap that with a new card obtainable from Harry Mendelsohn or from Bendix/King themselves
Cost around £80 when you send back the old card. I took mine to Air Expo and had it done on the spot.

It was exactly what I was looking for, thanks! This is older equipment but still appropriate for those who have old equipment integrated into aircraft. Thinking of Bendix / King Skymap IIIC (or Tracker IIIC) panel mounted. What price for updating maps and software for example if you want both the U.S. and EUR or EUR and EEU ?

Hope our mods will allow .... have a Sony GPS in the Jag, circa 2002 ... boot mounted with a removable disc. Info now out of date. Jaguar have the nerve to tell me there's no later disc available. Anyone out there know how I can get updated. I'd pay good money! The GPS is virtually useless as it stands. Thanks hopefully. Dennis K
PS Does a 2002 Jag rate as Nostalgia?

Good Day ppl,
I know this is an old thread but i have this GPS and i would like to know one thing.
What is the best software to use to plan the route on your pc and then transfer it to your GPS? preferably free software.
thank You in advance

Worth reading the AAIB report below for Skymap IIIC issues in Ireland

Interesting read.
However the Pilot Guide and Operating Manual for the Skymap system also says:
...so the terrain mapping is a representation of only the main features and, for capacity reasons, the terrain over 2,000 ft is not modelled in the database.
‘This equipment is not a replacement for your chart. It is intended as an aid to VFR navigation only.’

Cognitive dissonance
We are all taught VFR and how to fly in that flight regime. However, I suspect that GPS devices are relied up increasingly for VNAV too - even though the official line will be that charts and eyeball are of course used as primary nav sources!
