Content Body

Garmin has expanded FliteCharts and SafeTaxi databases to include Mexico and Bahamas coverage. Pilots can purchase the databases for installed avionics or to display on the Garmin Pilot app. In the app, the U.S. Premium subscription includes Bahamas charts, and Latin America Premium subscribers get Mexico charts.

FliteCharts are georeferenced terminal procedures charts, and SafeTaxi charts, also georeferenced, show the aircraft’s location on the airport relative to airport hotspots, runways, taxiways, FBOs, and buildings. Users can view hold short lines overlaid on the airport diagram as well.

Garmin recommends buying the Bahamas and Mexico databases in the Americas OnePak or North American device bundle, but the North America (FliteCharts) and Americas (SafeTaxi) databases are also available standalone. The new databases were released with the May 2026 cycle.

Other recent features in Garmin Pilot include the ability to add comments on airports and FBOs and graphical notam depictions on SmartCharts.
