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 with it. Lets say I have one route in it from 49A to KRYY then I want to go DIRECT back to 49A. I press direct and enter 49A for the return trip. The display will show the symbol for DIRECT and then 49A but moments later it reverts to the route of 49A to KRYY. I redo the direct and again moments later it reverts to the route. I tried deleting KRYY from the two points in the route (you have to have one waypoint in the route ????) and then redid the direct to. Now every time it will show something like 49A -> 49A and 0 for all nav data.
This happens every time I use it even in a car.
The other issue is that it will pop up the safe taxi even while in flight by an airport! The only way to stop it is to turn it off.
Sorry for the long text but its the only way I can explain it.
I have sent multiple emails to Garmin starting two version ago about this but it is still not working for me. Using version 2.3.5. The last email I received from them said they are about to release a major rework of the route planning but I haven't seen anything yet.
Thanks,
