Garmin GTN Trainer

The Garmin GTN Trainer is now available for $24.99 for iPad owners. The application is supporting English language. It is a whopper, weighing in at 919 MB, so make sure you have plenty of free space on your iOS device. It is highly advisable to have the latest app version installed so that you don`t miss out on the fresh new features and improvements. The current app version 1.0.0 has been released on 2014-11-19. The Apple Store includes a very useful feature that will check if your device and iOS version are both compatible with the app. Most iPhone and iPad are compatible. Here is the app`s compatibility information: Compatible with iPad 2 Wi-Fi and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Requires iOS 3.2 or later

As an emulation of a GTN navigator this app is great But as an actual training tool it is extremely limited because the flight simulation is incomplete to the point of being basically useless What this app needs is an interface to a flight simulator like X Plane so that you can fly a simulated aircraft and learn how to use the GTN at the same time What s especially frustrating about this missing feature is that Garmin definitely knows how to do this The Garmin Pilot app has this exact mode and it is an indispensable tool for learning how the app responds when you re in a real cockpit It simply and easily interfaces over wifi with X Plane and receives position updates from X Plane The same implementation here would improve this app dramatically If this is an issue about pricing I m sure most pilots would be glad to pay for an in app purchase to add this capability I certainly would be Come on Garmin You ve got the know how and you clearly see the benefit of using flight simulators with your apps to improve the training experience I m sure you ll even sell a few more GTN units if pilots have the ability to try them out on their home simulators first         X Plane Integration NEEDED Matt-C182

This app has been deceptive for a long time Avionics shops as well as Garmin sales reps use this ap to sell the GTN product once you spend tens of thousands of dollars you find out that the smaller airports in the app don t appear in the GTN Garmins response is it s just an app extremely deceptive especially if you used the database in the app to make a purchasing decision     hope they updated the airports edgonzo

I m hoping Garmin is working on an update that will allow two iPads connected somehow over or Bluetooth so we can run GTN trainer on one iPad and TXi trainer on the other and have them work together like in the airplane Now that would be awesome training                     New update is nice Db2wings

Crashes when opening app Will start after several attempts Hope they update to current features                 Problems with iOS11 YosemiteOrBust

Hello since I have downloaded OS11this excellent app does not seem to be working Am I missing something J                 OS 11 Jd92011

Works exactly like the real box Great trainer for those new to the GTN boxes                     Perfect training tool Chichcan

Does anyone know how to get this thing to start off at my home airport instead of KSLE which is out in Oregon and therefore is irrelevant and immaterial     How can I get this to start at my home airport Phill Probst

Please make one for the GNS430 WAAS I have your cd but it will not load onto my computer I would love to have this for the 430 I watched the YouTube video but I would like to do it on my iPad vs in the plane wasting my batt Or burning fuel                 Need one for the 430 KTOL pilot

Nice App and Functional                     Supports both 650 750 Jmanuelsj

This app is a useful learning tool for the GTN series One point of clarification this does support the 650 It defaults to the 750 but you can change it in the settings Settings App GTN Trainer                     Does support the 650 pibod

It only simulates the 750 even tho the description states 650 750 They are enough different Garmin should have both             Not for the 650 Rick1028

After weeks of being unable coordinate a lesson with an instructor I came across this app Within a couple hours I was able to muscle through and get a fairly firm grasp on what I would need to understand for an upcoming flight I say muscle through because there doesn t seem to be any directions If I had found some it would be a solid 5 stars If you want need to get familiar with the Garmin 650 or 750 GET THIS APP Being able to learn how to operate the 650 750 before flight can be a life saver literally Blue skies tail winds                 A great 5 investment Qwood58

First I would like to thank you for the update There are numerous bugs in this major update needing extermination Once exterminated I will be happy to change the review to 5 stars             Would like to rate with 5 stars Mosquito Slayer

This App is supposed to be used as a training tool for pilots that use Garmin s GTN 750 It is highly irresponsible from Garmin and dangerous for pilots that are using these avionics not to keep the App updated to the latest software version on the avionics themselves It beats me why Garmin is doing this         Needs to be updated by Garmin Enyel

Useless Will not download or install from app store Not a connection problem Able to connect to store and download and update other apps without any issue     Won t download or install XChamp10

This app is useful for learning the basic functions of the GTN however it really has become orphaned Garmin for whatever reason has not updated it to keep up with the significant improvements made over the years to the GTN unit so it doesn t really reflect the current state of the GTN For this reason I can t recommend using it beyond the free trial period If you do decide to purchase it you ll be getting essentially an unsupported app for 25 Garmin can and should do better than this         Somewhat useful Comstockcaptain

Excellent simulator Aside from data base age the simulator behaves exactly like the real unit great way to learn its use before climbing in your airplane As a highly experienced Master Flight Instructor with over 8 000 flight hours and thousands of hours in glass I can vouch for this app unequivocally                     GTN TRAINER RKW-Business

Does not recognize purchase It s broken Wait for update     Don t buy till fixed drozovs

I paid 25 for this bogus app initially upon purchase After 28 days it s telling me that my Trial Period has expired This is highway robbery and Apple should investigate this Do NOT buy     Thieves ReincarnatedXX

The app doesn t works It is not recognizing that you already paid the insane 25 usd that it costed me Don t buy this they are robbing people     Don waste your money thyboss

Don t waste your time or money     310 Rs A330

I was hopeful that this latest update would resolve the ongoing problem of the app not recognizing that I ve already purchased it It doesn t I paid full price for a product that no longer works and Garmin can t be reached by phone to discuss the issue From the other reviews posted here I see that others have been dealing with the same problem for many months Clearly Garmin is choosing to ignore this fact given that they released a new update yesterday that apparently doesn t resolve the problem Crooks in my opinion     Crooks SeattleFlyboy

Please update to GTN ver 5 0 with HTAWS It would be nice if it was like the 25 version you could buy on cd Thanks                 Good but needs update Mosquito67

Bought the app like a lot of these other reviewers and had the app locked out by the 30 day trial version Called my credit card company American Express gave them the date and confirmation code off the bill and filed a fraud claim The next week the full amount was returned Good luck to you my fellow victims hope this helps you By the way never got to use the app never will buy it again     Rip off Aviator1903

I bought this app once and now after an upgrade it now does not recognize that I purchased it once already No way I would pay twice for a trainer that does not have true function Can t believe they spoofed me into downloading the upgrade Bret Craytor     don t get it Bret Craytor

After recent update app for which I paid 25 does not work is asking for another 25 This is complete BS bordering on fraud Attempted to contact support after 15 minutes on hold given a code with no instructions on how to use This calls for a lawsuit     Unacceptable NA123456789

I bought this app outright for 24 99 last year after purchasing my GTN 750 Garmin switched the payment model to a 30 day trial and in app purchase My GTN trainer app no longer works Apple refuses to offer a refund saying all sales are final in the App Store I m also waiting for Garmin to fix this problem Looks like my next avionics purchase may be an Aspen instead of a G500 I truly hope Garmin corrects this mistake     Very disappointed William Gilliland

The screen is gorgeous and the idea is fantastic It does not agree with the Garmin PC trainer and some of it is missing Utilities on the HOme Page Also the layout is different 4 keys across vs 3 Wish they were the same             GTN 650 ZDP Guy

I bought the original release app when I purchased the GTN Equipment The problem is they updated the app and then said I needed to purchase it again I contacted Garmin and they sent me a new code but it was only good for 30 days If they care to make this right I will give a better rating     Thieves PhatmanPat

You can t beat this for the money A simulator of this high fidelity for only 25 bucks It s a pilot dream I would gladly pay another 10 in app purchase for the ability to sync this with X Plane                     Slick on an iPad mini pi314

I bought this app months ago and just recently updated the app They switched to a subscription style payment system without keeping track of the people who already paid under the old method Feeling ripped off until they fix this     Fleeced Matt Yarnall

Great app for training except a recent update turned my originally paid for app into a trial and it wants me to buy it again Waiting for Garmin to respond It is a must have app for any owner of a GTN or for CFI s training a GTN owner             GTN App Jimmywaa

Works for me                     Love it Try before you fly Devolknumphic

This is a just a 30 day trial Which is fine but should be mentioned in the description     Waste Byte-Me

Just spent two days on this program mastering the GTN Book at my side iPad to play on What a great asset to those wishing to become proficient Do not understand the objections regarding restart on leaving program Flight plans and position can be saved And as a teaching tool the more of its functions you use the more it has achieved it s purpose                     Excellent way to learn Goldeneagle421

Such a well executed app EXCEPT for the fact that it reinitializes anytime you switch away from it That is totally insane You can t even go look at documentation or use your Garmin Pilot app without starting over This continues to be true with the lates release Come on Garmin FIX this     Disappointed LDJones

if you browse away from the app for even a second say to consult the manual it reinitializes and you lose your flight plan and all inputs If this were a review of the GTN 750 it would get 5 stars But this is a review of this app and it is ridiculous to charge 25 for something with such a huge flaw The simulator itself would earn 5 stars easily from me if it did not reinitialize every time I switch to another app     Very useful app for learning the GTN boxes but Petrolero

I found this trainer to be simply amazing Would highly recommend anyone get this program if you are looking at getting a GTN I have had no problems with the program losing it s place if I switch out of it and come back                 Very Worth it Timthemech

Usefulness is greatly reduced by the fact that the programs starts all over with the initialization every time you minimize the screen For example if you spend 30 minutes to setup an elaborate flight plan to test all the features the you have to go to the browser to lookup something on the net when you get back to this program it will have erased everything you did and stars all over from the initialization again like you just turned it on     Not fully thought through Duosam

This is a superb tool Wish Garmin had something similar for other equipment Nonetheless I highly recommend this to anyone installing or considering a GTN system                     Excellent DavisFlyer

Most every feature of the real gtn 750 has been thought of and included in this app however the author must have forgotten that it is for use on an iPad or iPhone Every time the app is minimized the current session flight function is forever lost Unlike most every other app in the app store maximizing or reopening this app greets you with the initial welcome screen and the requirement to start fresh Surely someone will discover and correct that frustrating quirk             No recovery SmokinDrill

This is essentially the same product available for free at the Garmin site but having a more portable iPad version is handy It s very beneficial to explore all the options on the couch when you can really absorb the details A little pricey but I say worth the situational awareness I currently use the GTN 650                 A Handy Trainer Tony Fletcher

This is the best way to learn to use the GTN series Well worth the price tag of the app Well done Garmin                     Best garmin trainer Crgraphicdesign

This app was perfect for learning my way around the system I d definitely recommend it for any new GTN owner                     Great for learning the ropes Flymo1138
