ForeFlight Mobile Announces Connectivity with Garmin Avionics
ForeFlight, a popular flight app for pilots, announced connectivity with Garmin avionics, broadening the flight planning, in-flight, and connectivity capabilities available to customers.
ForeFlight Mobile now connects to the Flight Stream 210/110, Garmin’s Bluetooth® wireless gateway, and displays the full suite of ADS-B weather and traffic information received via the GDL 88/84. The Flight Stream 210, with its internal attitude sensor, powers ForeFlight’s Synthetic Vision and adds a backup attitude capability with dynamic pitch and bank information. WAAS GPS position information from GTNTM 650/750, GNSTM 430W/530W navigators, or GDL 88 with an internal WAAS receiver can also be used to power features like ForeFlight Mobile’s moving map, geo-referenced approach plates, and taxi diagrams to enhance situational awareness in the air and on the ground. Additionally, flight plan transfer capability is currently in development and will be available in a future app update.
Support for Garmin Flight Stream connectivity is available with ForeFlight Mobile 7.2, now available for
download at the App Store. For more information, visit

Garmin® Automated Logbook Syncs Across Garmin PilotTM iOS Devices and flyGarmin
Garmin announced electronic logbook capabilities built-in to the Garmin Pilot application for iPad/ iPhone and seamless integration with flyGarmin. While flying with Garmin Pilot, the logbook feature provides automatic record keeping of commonly recorded data pertaining to each flight. Information such as date, total duration of each flight, number of takeoffs and landings, route and more are all conveniently sorted and saved for easy reference across Garmin Pilot devices and within flyGarmin. Built-in redundancy also allows pilots to make manual logbook entries via the flyGarmin website or Garmin Pilot app, where both entries are automatically synced and stored to display the same information. Additional capabilities include the ability to record endorsements, track flight currency, generate historical flight reports and more. In addition to electronic logbook documentation, Garmin Pilot now incorporates nearest navigation functionality so pilots can see at-a-glance, the nearest airport, navigational aid, airspace or facility, relative to their location.
