Weather Data; Weather Widgets - Garmin Pilot User's Guide for Android User Manual

WEATHER DATA

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the
age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time
delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the
weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older
than the indicated weather product age.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or
around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained with in data link weather
products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
Weather is presented in Widgets (as text), and map overlays. To receive up-to-
date weather information, the device must have access to a data connection (Wi-Fi or
cellular), or a GDL 39. However, once downloaded, some weather products will remain
available for up to 90 minutes after connection to the Internet is lost.

WEATHER WIDGETS

Weather Widgets are viewable in the lower portion of the Map Page in split screen.
Controls located at the upper left and right corners of each Widget open a menu that
allows you to select the Widget Type and to choose an airport to which the Widget is
applicable.
The NavTrack located at the bottom of the display enables you to dynamically change the
Widget location to view information related to points on or near the active route. Dragging
the slider at the bottom of the widgets pane moves a light blue diamond along the route
of flight. As the symbol approaches airports along the active route Colored push-pins
correspond to matching colored dots to the left of the airport identifier in the upper right
corner of the Widget to indicate the location from which the information contained in the
Widget originates.
There are six weather, and three navigation information products available for selection
from the Widget Type menu. The weather products available to be displayed as widgets are
METAR, TAF, PIREPs, winds and temperatures aloft, area forecast, and AIRMET/SIGMETs.
The three navigation information products are NOTAMs, Fuel Prices and TFRs.
Sliding a finger left or right over the widgets will bring more widgets or the 'Add Widget'
tool into view. The source, product age and relative location will be displayed at the
bottom of each widget.
