I, too, have had the mystery N-numbers entered into my flight log, and I mentioned it to the guy in the tent at OSH, who was very polite and suggested I re-boot my iPad...

My biggest beef is that I experience intermittent bluetooth drops to my GDL39 while in flight, which is irritating. Sometimes I can reconnect; othertimes not so much, and sometimes it works great...

If there's some way of hard-wiring the iPad to the GDL39, I'd be interested in knowing it..

Sorry OP re: thread creep. I've had bluetooth issues since beginning, I think because the PFD has to connect to both the GDL39 and iPad via bluetooth (MFD is wired directly to GDL39) while the iPad is also connected via bluetooth to the GDL39. However, I've found the latest G3X Touch update 4.70 to be pretty stable. 4.60 broke ADS-B in my panel, but with a couple emails G3Xperts quickly corrected w/ 4.70.

With ForeFlight now having Garmin style maps and the ability to load flight plans directly to G3X, and Garmin Pilot maturing, it seems FF and GP have achieved parity. More a taste/familiarity/cost decision.
