Mar 4, 2020 · I get along great with an 8" Lenovo tablet that cost about $100. Fits nicely in the middle of the yoke on the pipers I fly. My tablet is wifi only. Haven't been to an fbo yet that didn't have internet if needed, and I get adsb weather and notams from the stratux anyway. If I desperately need data i could always hotspot with my phone.

Nov 6, 2020 · The big problem with Android tablets is vendor bloatware. Samsung is the only manufacturer still building premium spec'd tablets, and they insist on skinning the interface and installing their own apps for cloud storage, etc. I recently bought a Tab 8" and tried to make GP work on it. Basically unusable.

Oct 31, 2022 · Sometimes they are quick, but there are too many occasions twhen they are very slow (sometimes impossible to load) in the cockpit. I am considering a Samsung tablet but from what I was reading ( Up to Oct 2021) the Android version of Garmin pilot is far behind the Apple software and not worth running on an adroid.

Dec 30, 2019 · I have been using Garmin Pilot on Samsung Galaxy tablets for four or five years now (forget exactly when I started) Recenty I have been given the opportunity to borrow a Gen 5 iPad to test GP. The reason I wanted to do this was because even though I have a very new Galaxy Tab S4, GP just seems to creeeep along and sometimes gets very ...

May 7, 2009 · Oh well. Garmin Pilot equals it in every possible way. But I don't use tablets in the cockpit. 696 and 430W with all their overpriced database updates work better and more consistently than any tablet. Also keeps that kneeboard space free for the piece of paper I need to write stuff on. Almost ForeGot - Thanks for the emphatic, emphasized ...

Dec 10, 2017 · I use a Samsung S3 and have had no problems over the past 1-1/2 years I have been using it. YES - Garmin Pilot Android version was "buggy" up until the last few updates for me. Over the past few months I have not had any crashes or losing of data. I have never owned an Apple product - phone, tablet, or watch - and never will.

Oct 26, 2013 · Problem was that Android tablets was actually very bad and unreliable until maybe 1/2 year back, but modern ones (Samsung for example) are excellent and technically are better then iPAD-s.

Apr 12, 2017 · Currently, I keep Droid EFB and FltPlan Go on an aviation-dedicated tablet (a Samsung S5e). Droid EFB is my primary EFB. It has simple and intuitive user interaction, but is quite capable for IFR flight, including georeferenced approach plates, and communication capability with my NGT-9000 transponder for displaying FIS-B weather and TIS-B traffic.

Jan 9, 2022 · The main reason I prefer running GP on a Samsung tablet vs iPad is heat tolerance. From everything I've seen and read, Samsung tablets are significantly less prone to overheating and shutting down than an iPad.
