Leave a Review Garmin Pilot
Easy to use
The split screen feature with various options saves a lot of page switching time. (5th gen 9.7inch iPad).
The problems I have with the app so far:
1. The CFS is not directly available in a split screen widget. It would be great if CFS pages are provided as a Widget, or as part of the Airport Info widget.
2. The "Clouds" overlay cannot be turned off after it is turned on.
3. VNC edges are not aligned perfectly. For example, Bella Coola airport (CYBD) is completely invisible.Show lessAlmost there
This latest version is so much better than the first attempt by Garmin. It is almost there and in general very good. For VFR it is reasonable but you certainly would need the official maps, as you would with other aviation Apps. One huge missing is for IFR. There are no confirmation of filing acceptance and no slot times or update slot times. Until Garmin include this it is not acceptable for IFR flight planning. Access to AIP's is also missing. If they develop it further it could be the killer aviation App.Show lessUnstable
Lots of great functionality for a GA pilot, but Crashes or locks up frequently, and plagued with bugs. For the annual subscription costs I am paying I expect a far better quality app.Very functional
A very good app. The only problem is that you do not support any third party ADS-B in receivers. You only support your own product. That is a real shame and that is the reason why I did not renew my subscription. If you start to support third party ADS-B receivers, I would re-subscribe.Meh
Good, I guess for fixed wing. Unacceptable for VFR rotary wing.Too expensive
It's a real shame there is not a Europe subscription priced the same as the US version.Missing ability to import waypoints
Please add ability to import GPX and/or CSV waypoint files.Good weather functionality
I'm a storm spotter, not a pilot, but this app has the best satellite imagery, international radar data, global lightning data, and other useful stuff.
Has location labels on top of weather data unlike most other apps which is very useful. Just wish borders were also on top.Canadian Plates
Plates are not up to date as valid period has expired even though they saw this is how they do it.
No VNC or WAC charts for Canada
This is not a Flight Bag as no current charts and expired plates.
Not worth the priceNeeds Maps
Love the interface as it makes it a very user friendly app. However, until maps are available for Australia, I think pilots will spend money on other alternatives that do provide up to date charts. Will look at purchasing when charts are available for Australia.
