OK...the GPS database is separate from the FlightMax database. But isn't
there a GPS unit that is an integral part of the FlightMax system? I mean,
you don't but a Garmin to use with FlightMax, do you?
If it is an integral Avidyne GPS interfaced to FLightMax, then what about
updating *it*? I suppose it also has a CD-ROM uploader (but a different
one?)...and does it update as fast?


There is not a GPS in teh flightmax. It uses a separate GPS, but works with
almost anything out there. Call Avi-Dyne, they'll help you, usually pretty
good about it when I called.
