This was the first time I flew this plane east of the Mississippi River and I discovered that I didn't have that data pack. [I] had west of Mississippi only. [I] lost GPS when I crossed into Mississippi from Arkansas. I was traveling by Google maps at that time and approached Bruce Campbell Field in Madison; Mississippi; which is 7 miles from Jackson International and didn't call Jackson Tower to inform them of my intentions. This will be avoided in the future by affirming I have the whole U.S. data package for the Cessna and make sure I fully disclose my intentions to all towers within the given airspace that is dictated by the FAA regulations. Also; I will make sure I have paper charts for backup to the G1000. I was contacted by Jackson Tower with a polite verbal warning for my actions when I landed.
C182 pilot discovers on a flight to MBO that his G1000 data pack does not include the area east of the Mississippi River. Jackson International airport Class C airspace is entered without clearance during landing.
