ANDROID™ TRICKS FOR PILOTS
Android tablets are offered by a variety of manufactures and features can vary widely.
It is important to know the features or your individual tablet before using Garmin Pilot
for navigation. Some tablets are offered with on or two connectivity options; Wi-Fi
or Wi-Fi + Cellular. It is also important to know which connectivity option you have
before using Garmin Pilot for navigation. There are also a few things to know about
your tablets basic features and settings that will enhance your Garmin Pilot experience.
These features are not hidden, but they may not be immediately apparent. To get
completely familiar with your tablet and its features, it is recommended that you access
the User's Guide for your tablet and/or the User's Guide for your Android version
(Garmin Pilot requires Android 2.2 or later).
GPS
Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving capability is optional on some Android
tablets. Garmin Pilot can be used without GPS for flight planning, but the navigation
features will be inoperative. If your tablet does not include a GPS receiver, a Garmin
GLO™ portable GPS and GLONASS receiver, or a Garmin GDL 39 portable GPS and
ADS-B receiver will be required to take advantage of the navigation features of Garmin
Pilot. Alternative or third-party GPS sources known to work with Garmin Pilot are: Bad
Elf, Dual Electronics XGPS150 Universal Bluetooth GPS, and GNS 5870 MFI Bluetooth
GPS receiver. Other portable GPS sources may also work with Garmin Pilot.
