Not all Garmin products are toys
Avionics require regular updates of their local database to remain safe and certified, and I'm betting that this is either impacting the ability of users to download, or Garmin's ability to create and post the new updates. My 'smart watch' is basically a toy, and nobody cares if it's functions are limited for a (long?) time. But if my ${X} million dollar aircraft can't do its job I'm going to have my legal team re-check those Garmin contracts.
