Bueller? Bueller? Anybody? Just curious if anyone else is having XM / MobileLink problems with the latest Android GP 4.1.0. I sent an email request to Garmin on Saturday but haven't heard anything back yet except for the immediate auto-response.
Thanks!

I am apparently the only Garmin Pilot / MobileLink user here, so maybe no one cares
but I just got this response from Garmin:
"We just released an update this afternoon to fix the Baron Mobile link issue."
On the one hand, I'm glad they responded to my request, acknowledged the issue, and pushed a fix within a couple days. On a holiday week, no less. Thanks Garmin!
On the other hand, this is the second time in less than 18 months that an update has broken MobileLink support. And that's one of those things, since the MobileLink stays in the plane, that I normally don't notice until I'm already in the plane, which is kind of late. It is obvious to me that, probably because they make money on the GDL-39, they do little or no testing with MobileLink before releasing an update.
Yesterday I downloaded the free trial of FlightPro. I had demoed it a couple years back when it was still Avilution Maps, and decided to go with Garmin Pilot. But we all know these apps change rapidly. I feel like Pilot has become much slower and buggier in that time. This time around, I have to say that so far, FlightPro really seems to outshine Pilot. So much snappier in terms of responsiveness.
I have a planned flight for Thanksgiving so I'll see how FlightPro's MobileLink support works then. But if it works well, I think I will be signing up and not renewing my Garmin subscription when it's up next month.
