I have been using Garmin Pilot since the summer and love it.
I bought a brand new iPad Air 2 in August just to run Garmin Pilot.
My battery life has been excellent; anywhere from 5 to 7 days on a full charge.
However,....
Two weeks ago I upgraded to Garmin Pilot v. 8.5 and IMMEDIATELY noticed that my battery was being sucked dry. after putting my iPad away with a full charge, I found it completely dead after just two days;... of NON-USE. I am now getting only 1 to 2 days between charges.
I finally checked my battery monitor, and my iPad tells me what I'd suspected: over the past 7 days, Garmin Pilot has used 90% of my battery life... PERFORMING BACKGROUND ACTIVITIES.
I have changed no settings in Garmin Pilot, and can find no options to stop background activities.
Anybody know what's going on?
[PS: I love the new Weight & Balance feature. However, Garmin added it right after I created a custom Excel spreadsheet for my particular rental 172N and ported it over to my iPad...]
