ENGLEWOOD, Colo., July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), and
Jeppesen, a Boeing Company, recently announced an agreement to
integrate Jeppesen terminal charts with the popular iOS-based
Garmin Pilot app. This partnership combines industry-leading
capabilities from the two companies to advance cockpit technology
and enhance the flying experience for general aviation pilots.
"Teaming with our long-standing partner Garmin to provide
Jeppesen terminal charts for the Garmin Pilot app marks a new era
for the availability of Jeppesen charts. The comprehensive Garmin
Pilot combined with Jeppesen charts establishes a world class app
for the global general aviation community," said Reggie Arsenault, director, Jeppesen General
Aviation Client Management. "While we will continue to support
Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck, we view Garmin Pilot as a premier
cockpit app and we will work together to deliver innovative
charting and flight data capabilities."
Jeppesen terminal charts can now be viewed within Garmin Pilot
from the charts page and in split screen mode alongside the moving
map. Geo-referenced Jeppesen charts can also be overlaid on the
moving map for seamless navigation.
"Garmin and Jeppesen are dedicated to ensuring pilots can more
easily access pertinent chart data across all of the Garmin
products in the cockpit, now including the Garmin Pilot app on iOS
mobile devices," said Carl Wolf,
Garmin's vice president of aviation sales and marketing. "This
partnership benefits our joint customer base as pilots flying
behind Garmin avionics with Jeppesen charts are offered an even
more seamless experience when transitioning between the app and
installed displays in the cockpit. For existing Jeppesen customers,
Garmin Pilot brings a premier, feature-rich application to use in
conjunction with their preferred chart source."
Customers with a Garmin Pilot IFR Premium subscription and a
