Some reference points: My struggle to upgrade
I have been working with my avionics shop since May to upgrade my 1975 180 Archer's old panel. My recent IPC reveled that the nav part of the two Mac 1700 or the indicators is way off. I really don't use them much anyway. With the looming ADS-B, and...
Great advice from everyone!
First of all, if I had and extra $10,000 plus I would be installing a G430W but that isn't going to happen.
So, I ran a test yesterday by using an new cable and connecting it to the antenna's C adapter (thought it was a PL239) and to the back of the DME using a...
Hi,
Hope some of you with experience in avionics can help me. The DME on our 1975 Archer began to degrade over the last year. The dash unit checked out good at a local avionics shop. As a additional test I connected the transponders antenna to the DME and it was like night and day. It really...
But Jay, if you are just riding around and want to go to say an airport you don't really have a starting point so how do you enter a route. Seems like a lot of key strokes. I have a 496 in the dash and just press direct and enter the airport code and its done.
I would like to ask the forum members here if they have had any problems with the Direct To function on Garmin Pilot android.
I cannot get this to work reliably. The issue is that after doing a direct to a way point, any way point, it will revert back to the active route after a few minutes...
Update to my post on Garmin Pilot.
I have been in contact with Garmin about the Direct To function problem. They seem to think the problem is that the internal GPS is loosing the GPS signal but today I tried it with a Dual external GPS unit and I still have the same problem!
It seems to me...
Garmin sent an email in response to my telling them about it and they have suggested that it is a GPS signal issue. I have never seen the GPS indicator on the nexus go out at the time I was having the problem but it may not be that reliable. I ordered a DUAL today to see if that fixes it.
I would like to ask you Garmin Pilot users what your experience with this has been. Specifically the direct to function and the safe taxi.
I use it on a nexus 7 and am having issues with the two functions of DIRECT TO and safe taxi. They are for the most part unusable.
Here is my experience...
Jay,
I got the latest update this week I believe it is 2.3.2 and it really cleaned up all of the complaints I had. Now, in split screen you can show the approach chart and move it around to see the profile section and when done press the airplane symbol to center the airplanes position in the...
I am using the latest 2.2.3 update. I keep looking for the latest. Did a reboot before starting it up for the flight. While it was sitting in the yoke powered up while I was doing preflight it stopped.
The little airplane on the chart part of the split screen on mine does not react as the one...
Jay,
I've been using Garmin Pilot for a month now with N7 and really liked it until yesterday. I spent three hours with it in the air and was very frustrated at it in the end. They have a ways to go to get this thing reliable.
Problem1: Multiple crashes
Problem 2: I activated a route but...
