Does the SN3308 have an internal database?
An internal database has been available since mid-November 1999. This is a Jeppesen database, and allows the display of nearby airports, navaids, and intersections regardless of the type of LNAV receiver used. The map also displays special-use airspace (Class B & C, MOAs, Restricted, Prohibited, and Warning). All units shipped prior to this release are eligible for a free upgrade to this new map/database software. The only requirement is that the SN3308 be at hardware status “MOD 1” or “MOD 2”. Units shipped from the factory after mid-March 1999 are at this hardware level. Older units will be modified at no cost, but must be returned to the factory. Turn-around time is generally 3-4 days. Please contact the factory at 760-727-4900 before sending in the unit to ensure a quick turn-around. If your SN3308 is at MOD 1 or MOD 2 hardware level, the map/database is a software-only upgrade which can be downloaded from this website. Owners of older, pre-MOD 1 units should return their SN3308s t
