Garmin Pilot vs. ForeFlight?

[TXFlyGuy]

We have a full Garmin package, including the G3X Touch and GTN-650.

What do you recommend, the Garmin Pilot app, or ForeFlight?

Why?

Now that Foreflight works well with the GTN/G3X I think it's hard to beat.

You should be able to get a 30 day demo of Garmin Pilot if you just want to try it out.

Good advice on the free trial. I've used both and believe you'll find each very capable.

I am now with Pilot because it works on my cockpit readable device (Android).

Have used both, like Foreflight better.

Both have way too many "bells-and-whistles" to be as simple as I would like, but that is where the market forces are driving them, so I just need to adapt I guess.

I have the 30 day trial version of both of these. I like the Garmin, but too early to tell.

Trying to determine which one is the most user friendly (pilot friendly!).

I tried them both. I like the key strokes to get to want I wanted on fore flight because it was more intuitive at first.. But I was turned off by not being able to download maps for fore flight free trial period. So I went with the Garmin. Now that I have been using the Garmin for a while, it has become second nature to find what I want quickly, so I am glad I stuck w Garmin and didn't get turned off by my early ignorance..

With both of them I wish there was some way to disable the iPad's sleep or lock button on top. Invariably I hit it on approach and loose the screen:-)

You didn't mention WingX. I've used all 3. My preference for flight planning is Foreflight, WingX, Garmin pilot (best to less best-they're all pretty good). For in-flight use my preference is WingX, Foreflight, Garmin. And this was when I had to pay for WingX! -
They're all good, so choose one that works with your choice of ADSB-in box.

I'm a low hour user of Foreflight but was lead to FlyQ by a FAAST webinar. Seems a bit easier to navigate. Not high jacking thread just adding a dimension to it. 1/2 the $dough of Foreflight too.

Need a program that will interface with the G3X and GTN-650.

You asking a question? I believe you'll need a device. Flight stream 110/210 to allow wireless connection between handheld device and the panel devices.
