Leave a Review Garmin Pilot
Great app, missing an important feature
I have been a Garmin Pilot user and subscriber since its first release, and I love its functionality and user interface. However, I find it difficult to understand why Garmin is not including the “vertical navigation” capability that is present on my 1998 Garmin GPS III Pilot, that I am still using to determine the top of descent and rate of descent (very appreciated by my passengers who get a smooth and consistent rate of descent as we approach our destination). Come on Garmin, this is a very important feature that would cost next to nothing to implement! The added features on v. 11 are in my opinion just fluff and eye candy, adding almost no values at least to U.S. customers.Show lessmidal31
Too dim to see in cockpit
I have a iphone 13 pro and shortly after take off in my rv-9, which has a bright cockpit, the screen will dim so much that the app unusable. I've tried changing or adjusting every possible setting to no avail. I don't know if Garmin is at fault or apple but this combo simply does not work in bright environments.Show lesstsneidin
V10.7
A very good update. But they removed all of the intersections/fixes for some reason. Some of the primary ones are in there but for routing purposes, and feeding them into aircraft the GPS you have to guess or create your own waypoint. There’s not even a suggestion of the closest ones. Still needs a profile view for approaches.Show lessC172Pilot
If it would not go blank, it would be great.
Has great features but goes blank often, usually at the most inopportune time. A friend has foreflight and it never goes blank. I have the latest iOS on an iPad mini 6th gen and have deleted and reloaded the app several times and it still crashes. I am using on trial subscription that runs out in a few weeks. If the problem is still occurring I will opt for foreflight.Show lessMoving to competitor app
New IPad Pro
The downloads are incredibly fast. So many new features have been added that wouldn’t work on my 7 year old iPadMike21002
Weather Issues
I had no complaints the first two years as a user, however this is no longer the same. Rarely now am I able to get METARs and TAFs to load. No weather appears on the map. Very frustrating as I pay for this service yet I have to go find it online still.IanP12345
Useless if you’re Canadian
Can’t file a VFR flight plan in Canada. I called Garmin support and they confirmed these are the rules. Canceling my subscription now. What is the point of this? We fly VFR in Canada all the time… bizarre. Get it together Garmin.Dirtyharrythethird
Briefing & Maps A+, Cockpit use ability C (font)
The planning side of GP is now great with the recent additions of visual notams, graphical TAFS and the magical upgrade to Leidos briefing. The in-cockpit size of fonts and buttons is completely unusable especially when fumbling for approach plates in IMC. The fix is simple - when then pilot completes preflight and briefing and clicks FLY or Navigate mode, the HMI interface of the software should become exactly like the GNS. This would solve the basic issue that all us pilots have with GP. It’s so close to being the perfect pilot app.Show lessAdamPTK
Only one complain
Would like for then to open up the software to allow status ads-b compatibility. It would help them be more competitive with Foreflight. I might switch once my subscription is up.Romeu38
Craft page in scratch pad not working.
Ever since the update, anytime I try to write on the CRAFT page in scratch pad it is as if the one lags and it doesn’t take any of my inputs. It only starts once you lift the pen. Very inconvenientangy ♡
