I thought it was basic but I can’t find a reference to this on their site.

That’s not accurate- Garmin has a Premium subscription that adds several features, such as icing and synthetic vision that is not available in the standard subscription. If you want a Jepp subscription you have to pay extra for that also, same as ForeFlight.

ForeFlight has multiple device support and vector charts as well. Garmin Pilot also charges extra for certain features. There is no Android version of ForeFlight, probably the biggest difference.

RAIM is not used for WAAS (nor therefore LPV approaches), but it sounds like you don't have a WAAS signal. Could it be something with the coax from your antenna?

Garmin Pilot was written by avionics folks to be an iPad app, ForeFlight was written by iOS developers making an aviation app. ForeFlight is more intuitive and better to use on the ground for flight planning, and Garmin Pilot is better to use in flight. That said, the current versions of either...

It is a balance but X-Plane in particular is more limited than most games by the CPU, because it is to a large extent single threaded (I think the weather computations run on a second core but not much else). One core is maxed out- so the maximum "boost" speed is usually the limiting factor, the...

This. I made the mistake of investing in a Vega 64 w/ 16GB VRAM that's rarely over 60% load. I have an 8 core CPU that boosts to 4.5GHz for single core, which is not enough to feed the GPU. I'm sure this will improve but I would get the highest CPU boost you can find first. Also make sure you...

I am looking for a CFI with >100 hours in a 340 in the Denver area, hopefully someone who is willing to do trips while I build time, any advice appreciated. I'm familiar with IA.

The image of the 650 on the Garmin site shows it with the transponder code on it on the right, I was wondering if, since that is also on the 750, we could use that space for something else.

I like the idea of the data fields. Do you know if you have a #1 750 and a #2 650 below it if you can have the 650 not show the transponder, etc. and instead put some data fields there?

It's ironic that the biggest source of GPS outages is testing for things that might cause a GPS outage. They do seem to plan these at convenient times (middle of the night) when most of us are sound asleep. Has anyone flown through one of these? Did you lose all GPS signal? I also understand...

We have room for two stacks but would like to keep it to one, that would probably put us over the edge. We did do the panel mount transponder because it is cheaper, and I figure we might use the timer on it for something. You'd think the remote versions would be cheaper, but they aren't.

There are the same number of buttons on the com only and com/nav GTR, so they make two of them multi function, which requires an extra press. Not a big deal., but not nothing. I'm a fan of simplicity. The audio panel is more intuitive to use with the touchscreen. The transponder is as well...

The other option to a second nav is a handheld nav/com. It's totally independent and cheaper, albeit not as reliable.

Yes, that's now my line of thinking. If the GTN 750 bites the dust, I'm back to the backup GPS (which I learned above is no good for approaches), ForeFlight and the com2, which is iffy. So now I'm thinking a GTN 635 is a good idea instead of GTR 225. I will have to lookup if I can operate the...

I actually view a complete loss of GPS as plausible, but I wouldn't mind working with only one nav on a touchscreen. Not as convenient, but very workable in an emergency situation even without ATC help, which would likely be available.

That’s what I’m asking, what is the day I’ll need it? I can’t come up with a plausible scenario. I could contrive one, and also contrive a reason to need three alternators and wear a parachute. One would hope identifying when the needle is in the middle would not require recurrent training, but...

Don't own it yet, still planning the panel. Wondering about the usefulness of a nav 2. I suspect it would be used zero times and it steals two of the buttons on the GTR, apart from the cost.

I drifted my own thread... back on topic!

It is designed (I believe) as a backup, so I would assume so on both counts although I haven't read the manual. But in any case, mostly concerned with needing the old fashioned nav radio.
