I like get-referenced approach plates for I stument work.
I'll be happy to try out WingX when they release the Android version. Looks like a good product.

The best option for Garmin Pilot users is to contact Garmin support with questions and specific requests.
Maybe I was led to believe incorrectly that Pilot for iOS has terrain and obstacle databases?

Default Geo-ref

I'm a +1 for the geo-referenced charts.

I'm trying to decide if I want to bounce up again to get the SynVin version for a year.

Ok, how does one get synthetic vision?

It's supposed to become available in July. I expect the Android version will be limited, compared to iOS, with new features added over time. That seems to be the way most aviation apps are when they are available on both platforms.

You are correct. I've been bouncing between the two versions so much I didn't notice. Also, iOS has synthetic vision (I don't use it on either mobile device).
