Garmin® begins seamless integration between FltPlan.com and Garmin Pilot
OLATHE, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced the initial phase of integration between the Garmin Pilot™ app
and the popular FltPlan.com web portal. As a result of Garmin’s
acquisition of FltPlan.com in August, both companies have made rapid
progress in merging portfolios. Beginning next week, pilots will be able
to use FltPlan.com for pre-flight planning and filing, and automatically
view the same flight plan within the Garmin Pilot app on Apple mobile
devices. This announcement represents the first of a series of cohesive
enhancements between the FltPlan.com website and the Garmin product line.
“We are proud to show early progress and eager to launch this
integration between FltPlan.com and Garmin Pilot,” said Carl Wolf, vice
president of aviation marketing and sales. “This announcement symbolizes
the beginning of a much anticipated collaboration that merges the most
widely-used flight planning and filing tool, with an industry-leading
app. With this, we are thrilled to welcome FltPlan.com to the Garmin
family and we look forward to growing our collective portfolios to
provide our customers with an unrivaled suite of flight planning tools
and services.”
FltPlan.com and Garmin Pilot customers can now experience a seamless
transition between the FltPlan.com website and the Garmin Pilot
application within the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean,
Central America, Venezuela and Columbia. The initial phase of this
integration allows customers to create a flight plan on the FltPlan.com
website and automatically view the same flight plan information within
the Trip Planning section of the Garmin Pilot app.
Within the app, customers can also view recent and future trips that
have been created on the website. Once the flight plan populates in the
app, pilots can transfer it wirelessly to compatible Garmin avionics or
a Garmin integrated flight deck. Additionally, the popular navigation
log found on the FltPlan.com website can also be viewed within Garmin
Pilot under the NavLog tab in Trip Planning.
Pilots can create a free FltPlan.com account to take advantage of
web-based flight planning and flight management services, which includes
access to weather, airport information, fuel prices, printable
navigation logs, aircraft performance data and more. By using
FltPlan.com and Garmin Pilot, pilots can easily transition from
web-based planning, to the Garmin Pilot app and wirelessly transfer the
data to compatible Garmin products, saving valuable time prior to any
flight. To learn more and to create a free FltPlan.com account, visit www.fltplan.com.
The latest release of the Garmin Pilot app that incorporates FltPlan.com
integration on Apple mobile devices will be available next week during
the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition, October 16-18, 2018
in Orlando, Florida. For new customers, Garmin Pilot is available from
the Apple App Store as a free download for the first 30 days. After the
30-day trial period, customers may purchase an annual subscription of
