Foreflight I recently got a subscription to Garmin Pilot and had the chance to use them side by side while my wife drove on a long cross country drive. Things happen slowly while driving and it gave me a good opportunity to use both the Garmin Pilot and Foreflight for the same operation at about the same location on the ground. I wrote down my experiences and sent them to Aviation Consumer. Attached is what I wrote.

Foreflight From: "bhauskne@gmail.com " Hi Gary, Thanks for the review. The Garmin Pilot app is much more capable than you reported. It has the ability to customize airport and map display that reduces the workload and provides a very logical flow. You can show weather icons for all airports that report weather, at a glance. Also winds, temps, and altimeter. Airport info is one touch away. Includes both quick reference data like frequencies and runways to full data from AFD. There is a reason for North and center buttons being separate. I frequently slew the display to see far ahead without changing the zoom level. One touch and back centered, keeping north or track up. North arrow allow momentary north up to read chart notes, without changing the slewed position. You need separate controls. Charts are readily available and easy to find using split screen. Do you know this existed? Immediate access to origin and destination airport charts. Georeferenced as well. The ipad version has other advanced features that my Android tablet does not have yet. Oh, ADS-B In is a welcome addition, plus the 3D backup instruments. Downside is proprietary hardware, but worth it for the features. Finally, Garmin Pilot works with the new Garmin panel hardware to share flightplans, weather, and traffic back and forth to a tablet. Finally, finally, Garmin Pilot works on Android tablets. Will not use Apple products. Period. Cheers!
