Re: As of now, 0555 GMT .... Still Struggling
Pilots have told ZDNet today that they haven't been able to download a version of Garmin's aviation database on their Garmin airplane navigational systems. Pilots need to run an up-to-date version of this database on their navigation devices as an FAA requirement. Furthermore, the Garmin Pilot app, which they use to schedule and plan flights, was also down today, causing additional headaches.
So maybe "how well I slept last night" not their biggest concern today? I think most airlines here in TZ use this for planning in-country flights.
Wouldn't it be nice if led to sufficient pressure from sufficiently important customers to make this stuff work standalone?
