Filing Flight Plan
This is probably the best forum thread for the Android Garmin Pilot I've found. I've gotten lots of good user info here, thanks.
There have been two GDL-39 firmware updates recently. v4.5 about a month ago immediately caused me problems. It showed a continuous notification of 'No active ground stations', but most everything seemed to be updating properly. However, there was a new problem with the looping NexRad display. On every other download, all the NexRad storm returns disappeared, causing the looping to continuously flash the storm returns on and off. If looping was stopped, then the returns disappeared altogether until the next update was received. I (and I'm assuming others) reported this and a new firmware update, v4.60, was issued in the last week or so. This seems to have fixed both problems.
Although I did not get an email reply to my bug report as I have in the past, I continue to be satisfied with Garmin's responses to these kinds of issues.
