Just got notification that version 5.01 was installed. So the bug fix is in. Have fun! Will fly with this over the weekemd for a real trial. Other than the small buttons on a 8 inch android tabler, I am begining to warm up to the new user interface. Very responsive and the sweep from the...

Updated my last post with the troubleshooting and fix from Garmin. I can now get a briefing.

UPDATE: Deleted data, uninstalled and reinstalled 5.0. Deleted and reentered pilot info. Do not reenter the CSC DUAT info, Lockheed Martin is anonymous service and requires no user profile data. If you are having issues, reinstall 5.0 (first release of 5.0 last night had an error)...

I'll try clearing the cache and data, and then restarting. I did find the way to import a flight plan (poorly marked). Now if I can get the briefing function back. I do like the quick access to the flightplan waypoint info on the map page. Hopefully the ETC updates as the flight progresses.

Wow, just got Version 5.0 on my Samsung. Major changes to the user interface, with very busy flight planning pages. Just starting to digest this. You had better schedule some "eggnog" time in your favorite chair to learn the interface. Seems they abandoned the Garmin panel moun navigating...

Flew with the latest version on Saturday, everything worked fine. I switched to the VFR map (from sectional) and noticed the terrain colors are pretty dark making some of the other map data difficult to read in sunlight. Need to see of I can tweak the setting for easier visibility...

Hi Jay, I am moving to McCampbell at the start of July, just signed up for one of the new T hangars. I am at Rockport till then, in one of the ghetto hangars on the east side of the field. Looking forward to cutting my drive from CC to the plane in half. BTW, my Samsung Pro 8.4 is...

New update out with Terrain and Obstacles for Android. Downloaded both databases and viewed on GP on my Sammy Pro 8.4, sitting at my desk. Lots of obstacles here in Corpus with the petro facilities and wind generators. Hope they filter out at altitude, rather dense groupings obscures portions...

I'll try to fly from KRKP to your airport this summer, Jay. Maybe the weather will work out for that trip :)

Garmn needs to have the Subscription function under Setting be able to bundle the databases into one purchase transaction if desired by the user. My credit card company flagged the 3rd database purchase as potential fraud and declined it. Had to call and verify these were legitimate...

OK. Haven't tried that way. There is an option to update your subscription right in the app. I went to Settings / Subscriptions and it offers the option to purchase updated subscriptions.

IIRC, the My Garmin system uses a username (alphanumeric) not an email address. Confirm you are entering your My Garmin account username, not your email address.

Most people I see are using the tablets in portrait orientation for their tablets, so it seems like 15 or 20 items displayed are unlikely or too small if you can display that many. I have my android tablet set for 10 items, but only 6.5 items can be seen in portrait mode. My list from L to...

Just got back from 2,500 mile journey from the Keys to San Diego, using 4.02 all the way. Agree with prior post about occasional crashes, but none at inopportune times like approaches. And I had lots of IMC and approaches in the whole 5,000 mile trip. Love the interface with the quick...

Agree. Took it with my GDL 39 3D for short trip where I was entering an area where a storm area was receding. WX radar worked well, seemed like faster updates. Southern tip of Florida so not much traffic behind the storm, ADSB, TIB, or otherwise. I think this will be a Go for the...
