This means that European pilots have to scroll through all procedures/charts of airports and try to find the right plates. This high workload holds me back from using Garmin Pilot for flying in Europe. I'd really like to switch to Garmin, because I prefer the basemap, integration with avionics, etc, I want to simply select the SID, STAR, Approach in the active flight and then I expect a binder with only those selected procedures. Currently, this feature called "Active Chart Binder" is per support not available in Europe... Please let me know if this is in the pipeline soon. Thank you!https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/425719/is-there-a-good-way-to-create-or-import-check-lists/2035430Mon, 01 Jun 2026 18:39:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:846385c3-435b-4fce-b2a6-0ccf7f9372b8askulteHi Garmin Developers - Any progress? I'm another Foreflight user considering the move when my subscription is up. I have my custom checklists (word file, printed & laminated 8 pages) that I'd love to incorporate within my flying flow. Foreflight doesn't make it easy to enter checklists either - Let us do it on the web or offline and import to the app. Retyping on a mobile device would be super tedious. Could be a great feature where Garmin would be better than FF!https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/436410/logs-synced-for-d2-mach-2---altitude-and-speedSun, 17 May 2026 02:44:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:393554f7-5f9a-4128-add0-85b866db46868170451Hi all, I’m using my D2Mach2 to log my flights - the log entries are synced to Garmin Pilot - but it seems that some data doesn’t get synced - namely GPS recorded altitude and speed from the watch. Basically, if I look at the activity on Garmin Connect, I can see my track, altitude and speed graphs. On Garmin Pilot, all I see is the track data - it’s showing no data for altitude and speed. Does anyone have any ideas on if there is a way to get that data recognized in Pilot from the data synced over from my D2 Mach 2?https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/425719/is-there-a-good-way-to-create-or-import-check-lists/2031747Sat, 16 May 2026 11:27:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:64fda4cf-80f3-41a9-ba01-61da716c4eda8820933Another Garmin Pilot trial user considering switching from ForeFlight to Garmin Pilot and finding the lack of ability to import checklists (e.g. .ace files) a major detractor to making the switch which is unfortunate as it seems like there are many things to like about GP over ForeFlight.https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/436142/has-anyone-sucsessfully-copied-a-flight-plan-generated-in-foreflight-and-pasted-it-into-garmin-pilotTue, 12 May 2026 13:10:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:3e95bfcc-2647-4b79-987c-2080bef4e49c3599033I am looking at starting with Garmin Pilot having used ForFlight for a long time.

I put in that binder all plates for: Departure: Taxi diagram, planned SID Destination: planned STAR, planned/most likely approaches, VFR plate, taxi diagram Alternate: most likely approaches, taxi diagram Then I print all of it (at once!) as one PDF file. I use this as backup or print on paper. My question is, does Garmin Pilot allow printing an entire binder with select plates too? Couldn't find this option yet.

Some points to check here are to make sure your iOS is up to date (26.3.1), make sure your Garmin Pilot app is up to date (26.3), then sign out and back in (potentially also uninstalling and reinstalling the app onto your device). If it still doesn't please contact Aviation Product Support at 866-739-5687 for further troubleshooting.https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/417758/bug-app-crash-when-selecting-altitude-and-departure-is-outside-forecast-range/2017599Wed, 11 Mar 2026 23:18:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:534a3baf-8783-40b7-bdb4-085c5a5b7793LisaNelToday I AGAIN remove Garmin Pilot and re-installed it.

If you use split screen and assign the airport tab to it, you can never use split screen without it crashing. This just started with 25.12.3 and I WISH I could downgrade to 25.12.2 where my older iPad would still be fine. The solution of forcing me to buy a $1500 new iPad to get iOS 18 is unacceptable. My old android tablet running Garmin Pilot 25.7.1 now works better than my iPad. My iPad runs iOS 17 and can NOT be upgraded to 18.https://forums.garmin.com/pilots/aviationservices/f/garmin-pilot/431793/i-did-something-wrong-and-now-my-garmin-pilot-isn-t-giving-me-accurate-estimates-for-all-the-positions-in-the-flight-plan-what-should-i-do/2017191Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:33:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:685d6341-88b5-4036-9bad-89549578725bGarmin-CBHello, can you confirm that you are on the most recent version of Garmin Pilot and are having this issue?

I greatly prefer track up orientation and find the current position to be a problem for two reasons. One is that I want to be able to see traffic that's coming from behind as well as in front. The other is that the various pop-up option lists appear right over the ownship location and totally obscure the most important part of the display. I appreciate your considering this. I'm looking for a ForeFlight alternative and this is a feature of that program I've come to appreciate.
