When new databases become available, the GDL-60 will wake up at a scheduled time (selectable by owner) using battery power. The GDL-60 will download all new and available databases.  When the avionics are powered on, the GDL 60 will synchronize databases across the displays.

These include:

• Navigation, SafeTaxi® diagrams, Airport Directory, and Obstacles will update on the initial avionics bootup 
• Terrain and Basemap will activate on the next power cycle
• FliteCharts®/ChartView™ databases and IFR/VFR Charts will sync in the background.
