Please remember that you are using this data at your own responsibility! Always check official documents before committing to flight operations. Call airfield owners prior to landing and monitor the actual traffic situation.
Dynon HDX
The Polish Navigation Database Upgrade for the Dynon HDX includes airfields and heliports not found in the default database. Files should be imported into the HDX system as User Waypoints, which will save the data in your system. The update includes:
- 100+ airfields - up-to-date data obtained from airfield owners and other reliable sources. Additional information is added in the Remarks section. Airports with runways shorter than 400m are marked as Ultralight.
- 300+ heliports - some private but mostly medical (LPR)
To install, choose either airports, heliports, or both:
- Download the ZIP with CSV files
- Load new files onto your HDX USB stick
- Import data into HDX as User Waypoints. If updating from an older version, remove it first (Menu → User Waypoints → Clear Database)
Garmin G3X
The Polish Navigation Database Upgrade for the Garmin G3X includes airfields and heliports. Files should be imported into the G3X system as Flightplans, which will save the data in your system. The update includes:

- 300+ heliports - some private but mostly medical (LPR)
To install, choose either airports, heliports, or both:
