Garmin Pilot can be used in either portrait or landscape orientation and will respond
to the Android's automatic orientation feature. The map may be displayed in either
full screen or split screen in either orientation. The lower half of the display in portrait
orientation or second (non-map) display in landscape orientation has four possible
functions; Panel, Widgets, Charts, or SafeTaxi.
• Panel Mode is customizable and can be configured to display an instrument panel
with virtual instruments to indicate GPS altitude, ground speed, vertical speed,
course, and lateral deviation as well as a table with up to 15 configurable data fields
for monitoring navigation data.
• Widget Mode enables a series of customizable data windows called 'Widgets' to
be displayed. Widgets offer quick access to a variety of aviation weather products
(METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft, NOTAMs, etc...) for nearby or selected airports and can
also display up to 14 navigation parameters which are also configurable.
Charts, and SafeTaxi when viewed in split-screen, have the same function, navigation,
and capabilities as the full screen versions of these products, just displayed in half
screen.
Garmin Pilot requires a data connection for downloading maps and other data prior to
departure, but once you have downloaded everything needed for your flight, it is ready
to navigate. The Downloads Menu in the Garmin Pilot settings options will indicate
when new downloadable data products are available upon connection to the Internet
