Garmin has expanded its aviation navigation database to Africa, giving operators of compatible Garmin avionics access to coverage in more than 40 countries. The update adds en route and airspace data, airport information, frequencies and instrument procedures, while Garmin Pilot users in South Africa also get additional VFR data, including arrival and departure routes and visual reference points.
The company also introduced the Transatlantic OnePak, an annual subscription starting at $999 that bundles Africa, Europe and the Americas for a single aircraft and an eligible portable device. Standalone Africa subscriptions start at $449, with monthly updates at $149, and a FliteCharts version starts at $1,399.
For operators flying across regions, Garmin now has a cleaner path to keeping cockpit data current.
