Re: northstar gps 60 navigator
Not familiar with the GPS but have had success at googling companies and often they have the material in the tech section on thier website.
Don't know your background but do recommend getting specific Comanche education on systems. I still learn even after 47 years of having the Twin in the family. http://comanchetraining.webs.com/ There is one in April.
Hope this helps.

Re: northstar gps 60 navigator
According to the AIM there is no requirement that GPS databases be current for VFR flight. It is recommended that you verify waypoints you use for navigation. Though not explicitly spelled out, to me this means crosscheck the Lat/Long of every point you use for navigation; e.g. VORs, intersections, waypoints, etc. This could be quite the task for a long flight or in the event of a reroute. It also means that any stored data such as frequencies, runways, runway data such as length and width, airport elevation, etc. should be verified.
It is a requirement that the database be current for IFR operations. To me, this means only using the outdated GPS database for positional awareness and no navigation that cannot be backed up with other sources on board (VOR, NDB, ILS).
