How to update a GTN-650 using an iPad??

I find myself nowhere near a Mac or Windows computer, but have a card reader for my iPad and it recognizes the Garmin data card.

I cannot find a way to install the Garmin Database Manager on the iPad to update the card. What is the secret (if there is one)?

I think the only way to do that is with the Flightstream 510. It’s expensive but works really well. You must use Garmin Pilot though, and that’s another 79. bucks a year on top of the subscription.

It also has bluetooth in it and through Foreflight you can load flightplans, both ways.

I haven’t heard of other ways to update with the iPad.

Of course, this advice is worth exactly what you psid for it.
