This operating handbook is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to help 

with understanding how to use Garmin Pilot for reviewing aviation weather, airport 
information, creating and filing flight plans, and for viewing charts, maps, and 
navigation data in-flight.  

Android tablets are offered by a variety of manufactures and features can vary widely. 

It is important to know the features or your individual tablet before using Garmin Pilot 
for navigation.  Some tablets are offered with one or two connectivity options; Wi-Fi 
or Wi-Fi + Cellular.  It is also important to know which connectivity option you have 
before using Garmin Pilot for navigation.  

There are also a few things to know about your tablets basic features and settings 

that will enhance your Garmin Pilot experience.  These features are not hidden, but 
they may not be immediately apparent.  To get completely familiar with your tablet and 
its features, it is recommended that you access the User's Guide for your tablet and/or 
the User's Guide for your Android version (Garmin Pilot requires Android 2.3 or later).  

Some features of this application will vary between handsets and tablets.  Also, the 

3.0 release is only available on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and above.  Devices 
with older versions of Android will continue to have access to Garmin Pilot 2.8.

Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving capability is optional on some Android 

tablets.  Garmin Pilot can be used without GPS for flight planning, but the navigation 
features will be inoperative.  If your tablet does not include a GPS receiver, a Garmin 
GLO™ portable GPS and GLONASS receiver, or a Garmin GDL 39 or GDL 39 3D 
portable GPS and ADS-B receiver will be required to take advantage of the navigation 
features of Garmin Pilot.  Alternative or third-party GPS sources known to work with 
Garmin Pilot are:  Bad Elf, Dual Electronics XGPS150 Universal Bluetooth GPS, and 
GNS 5870 MFI Bluetooth GPS receiver.  Other portable GPS sources may also work 
with Garmin Pilot.
