Jeppesen Database

[Guest pelorus32]

There was a recent discussion along the lines of "Tyabb [or insert another name] is not in the Jepps database on my new AvMap [insert another GPS] and it should be"

 

There's a partial solution. You will have to work out the settings for your GPS but on the Garmin GPSmap 296 this is how you find places like Tyabb, Tooradin and Wallan:

 

1. Press the "Nrst/Find" button - this takes you to the airports page;
    
    
   
2. Press the "Menu" button and select "Set Airport Criteria";
    
    
   
3. Set that dialog to: Runway Surface "Any"; Minimum Rwy Length "0 feet"; and Check "Include private airports" and "include heliports".
    
    
   
4. Press "quit"
    
   

 

You will find that miraculously they appear - as Heliports (Coldstream, Wallan, Tyabb, Bacchus Marsh, Tooradin, Torquay)
