Oh, you're the Zune user Microsoft swears exists
in all seriousness, i don't see any need for an EFB with a good glass setup- I have my iPad but it remains stowed for the most part, every chart I need is on the EFIS or GPS navigator, I can understand using an EFB in a rental airplane where you can't do much about the avionics, but in these experimentals, the "right" solution can be head for a very small fraction of the total cost of these airplanes, why not shoot for that?
I have a surfacePro, it's a great little device for replacing a laptop- but in my lap in the airplane? I'll take an iPad Mini, that surfacePro in turbulence could become a hazard to the flight crew!

Something very simple, I want the "Scratch Pad" to be an option in the "Split Screen" mode.

Just downloaded 8.1.0 and have to say new profile tool is perfect. Winds, cloud cover, airspace, terrain, obstacles, all laid out in a clean presentation. Great job Garmin! Keep it up!

That's me!  My 'obsolete' 160GB Zune still runs circles around my iPod. But that's another thread on a different forum.

Fair observation. In flight, I don't rely on an EFB much. But it holds my backup charts in case the primary systems fail and I have to rely on my steam gauge backups. For the -10, the backups will be EFIS also, so the requirement goes away ... but not every panel has backups like that.
But the feature under discussion here is an on-ground feature. Pilots can get their weather and create a flight plan using an Internet connection, and store it on their EFB. Then, instead of having to re-enter the plan laboriously through the EFIS interface (which is easy and fun, said nobody ever) they can just upload it quickly and be ready to go. Not necessary at all, but a great convenience.

Split screen with syn vision

Now that I've integrated an IPad with Garmin Pilot into my panel, I'd like to be able to split screen the synthetic vision with a map/traffic/terrain etc. I would also again ask if magnetic heading, indicated airspeed and altitude could be sent to the IPad through Connext. It's still cool as is, just dreaming.

I would like some more aural / spoken voice indications (or the option to configure preference for either tone or verbal alerts.) Now that Lockheed Martin's human voice for "Bitchin' Betty" has retired, maybe she could consult...

i second this, i miss having the aural call outs associated with the auto pilot reaching altitude, or capturing glideslope, etc
so does my passenger, seems like an easy fix for the software guys

I'd like this too (but not critical).
The most useful audio alert is the "500" aural callout! It's a good check to make sure you're where you need to be at that point!

I third this request. I also like the "500" alert but it unfortunately seems to be tied to the terrain audible alerts which I don't like so I lose even that audible alert.

Garmin Pilot error when requesting briefing
I found a bug in the Garmin Pilot trip planning page. When attempting to get a briefing on the trip planning page and filing an ICAO flight plan, a message will tell you ""Z" must be included in Aircraft Equipment field when NAV/ or COM/ or DAT/ data is in Other Information Field".
The problem is the "Z" has been selected.
