I went with the Garmin Pilot also because instead of using the VFR/IFR chart pictures it uses the Garmin maps that declutter as you zoom out and the text is upright always even on track up mode.

Wow......I was just alerting Foreflight users that the new update was here and ready for download.  Not trying to sway people from brand X to switch over or start a debate about which is better.

I use both Garmin Pilot and for Foreflight so no need to persuade me one way or another. I gravitate to Foreflight on the ground for flight planning but while in flight I like Garmin pilot much better. Foreflight does seem to be more active with continued improvements. I like the new FF features!

I had both for a couple of years. Never grew to like the ForeFlight interface although, like you said, the features keep coming.

Who you kidding? You are a natural troublemaker. Next thing you will be telling us how great Beechcrafts are. ;)

That is a good feature, and it contains the entire country which doesn't require that you download each individual region.

So ... How much does GARMIN pilot cost a year? Now that I am putting in a GNS-430W, maybe I should look at it? Is it the same button pushes ... from one to another?

Same as ForeFlight for the IFR version, $150. The buttons are similar to the GTN series. One of the reasons I like it.

I paid $74.99 for a year and got the FAA IFR/VFR charts plus the Garmin IFR/VFR charts (less cluttered). The airports taxiways chart, approach charts and others is extra. I get the weather, TFRS and other stuff overlaid on the Garmin Pilot moving map on my Samsung smart phone through the internet (no ADS-B in required).

With the flight Stream 210 and Garmin Pilot you would make your 430 into a GTN 750. I hardly touch my GTN anymore with that combo.
