Very basic information on the G1000. Defiantly not worth the money!

A great overview of all need to know info of G1000

A great overview of all need to know info of G1000 I belive this video course provides an abundance of information to get you more familiarized with G1000 system. I have been flying the G1000 since 2007 and still picked up some great tips and was wonderful review. The added Garmin trainer software will help you futher your knowlege through your own exploration! This is a great video course way to go Sportys!

Too much for too little
Completely Underwhelmed

Garmin G1000 app

Could not get this app to download on my Ipad mini.

The de-facto G-1000 training standard

For all intents and purposes, this is about as good as it gets for initial training on the G-1000. Sportys has become the trustworthy source of ground training over the years, and this app holds up that legacy quite well. Those planning on flying this system will need this type of introduction. I can't fathom a flight school pressing forth without this training central to any checkout. Keep in mind this is an introduction for a rather complex computer data and operational system, so if some obscure function is not mentioned, just keep that in mind. It is not an end all, be all training system.

Poor
Tgnyc109

This app stunk. I generally like the WYSK series, but this was not a training app, it was nothing more than a superficial walk through. Extremely disappointing , don't waste your money.

Great App. Please read before buying...

Great application Sporty's! I love how there are easy to watch videos and tests, and it's great on the go. I'm not going to complain, but I would lower the price down just a little bit :) you've don't it again, thanks Sporty's! My instructor will be happy I am learning the G1000 thoroughly.

Once worked, now just crashes

This app was not a trainer to begin with. It was very superficial leaving you wanting the rest of the story. Then it began crashing despite numerous metro us attempts to reinstall. Save your money.
