I post this so others will avoid the aggravation I've endured and hopefully Garmin will fix it soon.
On my iPad 3 retina with iOS 7.1.2 I've run Garmin Pilot version 6 Bluetooth connected to my GDL39 version 3.10 without any issues. I also have the GDL39 hard wire connected to my G3X which runs well, without any issues.
Last week, I upgraded Garmin Pilot to version 7.0.0 last week and promptly lost the function of the GDL39 on my iPad. Two dozen attempts to transfer the version 4.0 firmware to the GDL39 were unsuccessful. It still performed well on the G3X.
Tonight, I downloaded and installed Garmin Pilot version 7.0.1. After another 2 dozen attempts, the GDL39 will get no further that halfway through the transfer of the 4.0 firmware.
By "upgrading" the software, I've lost an important part of the capability of a $700 device. Hopefully, it will still provide data to my G3X. It's hard not be caustic, but I need Garmin to give access to the earlier version of Garmin Pilot or fix these issues soon.
