Garmin Pilot 5.2.0 question

[Chris Mitchell]

Simple question here...when you move the Nav Tracker (small diamond shaped "scrubber" at the bottom of the split screen...Map page) from departure to destination, a small box appears showing nm, kts, ete and gal. However, when I move the scrubber, the info (nm, kts, ete, and gal) isn't there. I haven't used this feature very often so I'm not sure if it worked with prior versions of Pilot, or is it just a bug with the new version...or am I not using it correctly?

Anyone else notice this, or have an answer?

Mine is there and I am running 5.2.0. There are no values other nm and this is because I don't have the GPS running.

Just to confirm, you have something in the flightplan?

I do.

Just to be clear, mine does show the small box with "nm, kts, ete, gal" but the values are missing as I move the scrubber.

I called Gamin tech support wit this question but, when he finally understood what I was talking about (the Nav Tracker scrubber) he said that I needed to be moving for this to work. I tried it in the car today and still no good. He wasn't much help!

Good question...I forgot to mention this. The issue that I am referring to is on my iPad. I'm not even sure that this feature is available on android.

A couple things to try:

- You definitely need to be moving. Actually, you need to be 'flying', meaning that you need to be above 40kts. You know you're flying when a route leg is active (magenta).

- You also need an aircraft configured under Settings->Aircraft (this is where it would get the fuel burn rate).

- You can modify the fuel burn rate that the app uses by bringing Active NavLog up while flying (Menu->Split Screen->Active NavLog), then touching the Burn Rate cell at the bottom.

Attached is a screenshot of what the scrubber looks like in action.

Yeah, this was my problem. I finally figured it out the other day. Thanks!
