Hello, I am using Prepar3d V5, flying the Carenado C172 G1000. The map on the MFD shows Daytona airport (KDAB) as thin blue lines when I zoom in on the MFD map. I subscribed to Navigraph because I thought I could update the airport data, so it would show the actual airport map in the MFD, as it does in a real C172. Does anyone know if this is possible, and how to do it? Thanks! ---

Hi, You can use your subscription to upgrade your Navigation Data. I don’t believe Carenado have included the Navigraph Charts API in their offerings. You might ask Carenado further about this. Cheers Ian ---

Hi Ian, Thanks for getting back so quickly. Offhand do you know how I would go about updating navigation data in Prepar3d, or should it do it automatically? Thanks, Rei ---

Hi Rei, The Navigation Data is for your aicraft addons and does not update Prepar3D itself. Please see [FAQ - Navigraph updates for FS9, FSX and P3D only](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/faq-navigraph-updates-for-fs9-fsx-and-p3d-only/128). Cheers Ian ---

Thanks Ian, I’ve searched you’re FAQ, and found a few answers, but this is no substitute for a comprehensive beginners guide. For instance I see that Navigraph AIRAC updates are for add-ons only, there is no guidance as to what add-on I should be using. In my case I am using the Carenado C172 G1000, but the aircraft itself does not appear on the FMS Data Manager add-on list. I did eventually find, download and install the ?add-on? from your manual download list that seems to be specific to my aircraft, but there is no guidance on how this is supposed to work? I updated that add-on with the FMS Data Manager, which seemingly had no affect on my specific issue. It’s all guesswork for me really. (Note: Carenado, while producing wonderful sim aircraft, has awful support. They are very slow to answer customer questions, and sometimes don’t.) ---

Hi…, In FMS Data Manager, there are 3 tabs across the top. In _Settings_, make sure the Prepar3D v5 is correct. In the _Addon Mappings_ tab press _+Add_, for _Please select an addon…_ choose Carenado (all compatible products), for _Install into…_, choose Prepar3d v5. In _Addon List_ choose Carenado (all compatible products) and Update For more information please see [FAQ - Installing Navigation Data AIRAC Updates](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/faq-installing-navigation-data-airac-updates/50).
