Does anyone know if Garmin 2610 or 2620 can be loaded with an aviation
database to be used in the cockpit? Thanks.

As Paul Tomblin has mentioned, navaid.com will allow you to load aviation
waypoints. You cannot load an entire database. What you can do is load
aviation waypoints as user waypoints.

Paul's site is great. I don't know about the 2610 and 2620, but you can
then load the waypoints from Paul's site with several programs. Some of the
free ones are EasyGPS, www.easygps.com and G7toWin,
http://www.gpsinformation.org/ronh/.

If you have not purchased the 2610 yet, I would consider buying the 276C
with the auto kit instead. The 276 will hold 3,000 waypoints verses 500 for
the 2610. The 276 also has much more versatility with respect to
navigational displays, especially data fields. The 276 should also work
well in your car.
