Updating database

[MrBitsy]

Online flying with VATSIM is going to need an up to date database.  In the product description it is stated there is no current plan to update the database.  I do have a Garmin Pilot subscription, so does the functionality exist to use this subscription to update the database?  Having an old database means no purchase for me, but buying the product is a no brainer if my Garmin Pilot subscription can be used to keep the product updated.

I live in the UK.  I just watched a YouTube presentation where no charts were available for EGLL - is UK data in the product?

Hello,

Unfortunately the chart region is North America, they are the exact charts that you would find in the real unit.

The navigation database can be updated, but it comes at a real life cost. They usually get updated with the core PC Trainer once every 6 months to 12 months. (this is not an official statement because it does not depend on us, but this was past database update periodicity).

I have gone to my subscription page at the Garmin website, but I only see options to upgrade physical Garmin Products, not the Garmin Trainer.  Do you know how to do this?
