I've got dual 10" Skyviews in my panel with the current V13 software and an Ethernet link between them. Which databases are shared via the Ethernet, and which ones require individual loading on each screen?

Basemap
Aviation/Obstacle
High res terrain
Low res terrain
Very Low res terrain

Also - with the Seattle Avionics chart data - does this get shared across the Ethernet as well, or do I need to keep a USB plugged into each screen?

With the SV-ETHERNET-3CC cable installed, when some databases are updated on the master SkyView, they are automatically copied to the other SkyView display(s). Easy way to force one display to be the Master is to power your system up and manually power off the non-master display by pushing and holding Button 1. After that display powers off, the one that stayed on is the Master. Then power the other display back up by pushing and holding Button 1 again.

Basemap - When loaded onto Master display, will be automatically copied from Master display to other displays.
Aviation/Obstacle - When loaded onto Master display, will be automatically copied from Master display to other displays.
High res terrain - Must be loaded onto each display individually.
Low res terrain - Must be loaded onto each display individually.
Very Low res terrain - Must be loaded onto each display individually.

Chart data (including Seattle Avionics) is not "shared" between displays. If you want chart data displayed on multiple displays, you'll have to create multiple USB flash drives with that data... subject to any copy restrictions the chart provider has implemented.
