Winds aloft shows 5 day old wind first, and you have to swipe 5 times to get to the forecast winds. I never figured out what the difference was. Things like "Flight Plan" and "Trip plan". It is slow to start, sluggish and the menus are non-intuitive. I thought I'd offer this unsolicited advice in case anyone is looking for alternatives to Garmin Pilot (or even Foreflight) ,Īfter one year of using Garmin Pilot on Android, I am fed up.

Garmin's excuse was that it was difficult to write efficient code for Android since there are so many flavors. Crisp, super-fast, intuitive and great support from an open-source community. I've flown with it for a little while, including IFR, and I was blown away by its performance. So why are they marketing it if they don't consider it to be a market-worthy product? Good thing is, I have discovered Avare. Even the Garmin folks discouraged me from using their product - they said I should use their iOS version.
