New SmartCharts Regions in Garmin Pilot

Coverage Added for Canada and Mexico

 

SMARTCHARTS NOW AVAILABLE FOR CANADA AND MEXICO

With SmartCharts coverage extended to airports in Canada and Mexico, the Garmin Pilot™ app is set to streamline your instrument flying in even more regions. In addition to the charting features already offered for the U.S. and the Bahamas, the Canadian versions also get continuous descent final approach paths shown on the vertical profile view.

 

With SmartCharts, pilots in Canada and Mexico can now take advantage of the Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA) path shown on the vertical profile view. CDFA allows pilots to descend continuously on a constant path during a non-precision approach, providing a more stable approach and reducing pilot workload. Additionally, cold weather adjustments are available for Canadian and U.S. airports, allowing pilots to operate to cold temperature restricted airports and see the calculations and cold weather corrections within SmartCharts.

Additional SmartCharts improvements in this release include a missed approach climb gradient table being displayed on approach charts and applicable climb gradient values being shown on departure procedure charts.

SmartCharts are included with a Garmin Pilot Premium subscription for pilots operating in the United States, Canada or Latin America regions. For pilots who fly across multiple regions, a Worldwide subscription option is also available. These updates are available now on Garmin Pilot Web. Garmin Pilot mobile users can update to version 26.8 via the App Store. For additional information, visit Garmin.com/SmartCharts.
