Leave a Review Garmin Pilot
Useless
I tried to set up the aircraft profile. After putting a load of data in, it gives the options
Import from aircraft
Clone aircraft
Delete aircraft
What? What is that supposed to mean?
Whatever I do, anything I have already input is wiped out.
I give up on it.
Maybe I’m stupid, but shouldn’t it cater for stupid people?
Without putting in an aircraft profile you cannot do anything else. Hence- useless.
And how do you get help from Garmin? You have to put in a serial number. Does an App have a serial number?Show lessiamnotgivingyoumyname
Better than foreflight IMO
Love the fact that this app has downloaded street maps which is crucial for me when flying at night just in case I need to land on a road. Foreflight doesnt have this feature and so I switched to garminBula IZ
Commercial Ag Pilot
I have both Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight and feel Garmin Pilot is far more user friendly in terms of the user interface. Which carries over well with other Garmin flight decks. However, I REALLY wish Garmin would incorporate a satellite map overlay as Ag and many helicopter pilots operate with reference to physical landmarks on the ground. I feel if Garmin had this feature they would be “hands down” best in the business.Show lessj_ederer
Unresponsive team
I’ve had a GP subscription since it first came out. I pair it to a flight stream for interaction with my avionics.
For several years I’ve requested a feature with the team via email and in person at Oshkosh regarding the loading of waypoints. If an approach is loaded the GP App stops navigating at the first fix. I also have FF and it seamlessly loads all the fixes through the flight stream. If a non Garmin app can do this why can’t Garmin?
Also the WX imagining section no longer offers things like winds aloft.
It started off strong years ago but seems to be slipping by the wayside. For the first time I’m considering not renewingShow lessHDucker
Blows Foreflight out of the water!
The new update effectively blows Foreflight out of the water! Garmin pilot has integrated everything within the app seamlessly making for a very user-friendly product. Everything is easy to read and find within the app and the updated map makes it even better.fly to learn
Perfect app
Has all u need including georeferenced plates for much cheaper price. Love itDarxy77
Still poor European cover or functionality compared to USA.
Can’t even get the basics right like UK airfield frequencies despite me messaging support for 3 months.Fleagle_uk
Newest Update makes it unsafe to use
The newest update has rendered this app useless at best, dangerous if you do not carry backup paper charts. There is no longer airport information, it will not open when selected and you cannot even get to it in the radial menu. I cannot load any airport information even if I am using WiFi. Garmin really needs to rest their updates before sending them out, fortunately I caught the issue before I got in the air. For a product that has worked well I am thoroughly disappointed, and will not renew my subscription should these issues not be addressed.Show lessRobin1032
Poor logbook reports and more
Please, improve your logbook reports, it’s almost impossible to print the legit logbook for an interview.
Thanx for 2018 iPad Pro Screen support!
Needs to be added:
*TEC routes in flight planning
**Apple watch support
***Access NOTAMS faster, maybe thru radial menu
****Ability to bookmark relevant pages in chart supplement
*****Ability to print the legit logbook for checkride or interview
******KHHR is still showing awkward airspace on VFR map (very dangerous for pilots not familiar with LAX!!) that penetrates the LAX bravo!
*******Missing a lot of stadium TFRs (Stub Hub Stadium), I can find them even thru SkyVector
Please improveShow lessJPizzel DoJJ
The one-star reviews are good for a laugh.
They read like they were written by The Hulk. “App bad, Hulk smash.”
I have been using Pilot without a single issue for three years. Garmin should have Billy D. Williams be their spokesman, because it works every time. Reading the manual probably helps, too.Aloysius Throckmorton
