My GPS needs to have the navigation database updated every 28 days. How would I set that up?

You can use the preset that is defined for setting up a GPS database update timer. If
you’d prefer, the follow steps will set up a tracking timer for your GPS database:
–  Go to the “Maint/Service” tab.
–   Right click on the grid and select “Create New Maintenance Item”.
–   Set the description to “GPS Update” and system to “Avionics”.
–   Make sure the “entered date” is set to today.
–   Set the due date to 28 days from today.
–   Set “then every” to 28 days.
–   Check “display on dashboard”
–  Click the Save button.

These steps can be used to set up any other item that needs to be regularly inspected or
updated.
