Garmin G3X Touch flight data log — export & score every landing

Turn on logging once, fly with an SD card in the slot, then upload the .csv to landing.fyi — every touchdown scored 0–100.

Covers: G3X Touch (experimental/LSA; GDU 4xx/3xx)

Step 1

1) Enable data logging

G3X Touch logging is off from the factory — turn it on once in Configuration Mode, a one-time button-hold. Already have a data_log folder on your card? Logging is on; skip to Step 2.

Enter Configuration Mode: with the display off, hold the MENU button on the bezel and apply power (master / avionics on). Keep holding until Configuration Mode appears, then release.

Open the Data Log Configuration page, set SD Card Data Logging to Enabled.

Then navigate — touch the screen or turn the Move Selector knob to move and select:

  1. Open the Data Log Configuration page.
  2. Set SD Card Data Logging to Enabled.
  3. (Optional) on Max SD Card Log Files, press Clear to show - - - - — unlimited logs, so old flights aren't overwritten.
  4. Exit, power off, then back on. It now writes one .csv per flight to data_log whenever a card is in the slot.
Certified G3X only

On a certified install, Configuration Mode may be locked behind the installation approval — if the screen won't enter it, have your installer set SD Card Data Logging to Enabled. Experimental / LSA owners have full access.

Step 2

2) Insert your SD card and fly

  1. Find the slot — the SD card slot in the bottom-center of the display bezel.
  2. Insert a full-size SD card label-up until it clicks. Leave it in permanently.
  3. Fly normally. Logging runs the whole flight on its own.

Card spec

Any modern card works. A standard SD card formatted FAT32 is the safe choice — 2 GB holds over 1,000 hours (up to ~1,000 log files). If a card doesn't read, format it to FAT32 (2 minutes).

Need one? A full-size 32 GB SD card works — anything 32 GB or smaller is plenty. (Grab a reader in Step 3 to offload on a phone.)

Step 3

3) Offload and upload

  1. Power off, then push the card in to eject it and pull it out.
  2. Read it (below) and open the data_log folder — one .csv per flight.

On a computer

Put the SD card in an SD or USB reader and open it.

On a phone

A USB-C or Lightning SD card reader mounts it in the Files app — no app to install.

Upload at landing.fyi →

Grab every log_*.csv file from the SD card and upload them all at once — landing.fyi scores each flight and quietly ignores any duplicates, so it's safe to select the lot.

What the files look like

Each flight is its own file, named log_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_<dest>.csv — date, time, destination (e.g. log_20260202_065031_KLMO.csv).
