Correct. Right now, we are able to tell that the price hasn’t changed so we don’t touch it and only update the new price.
It could do a better job though of explaining so we already have plans for future updates so the feedback has been added to our request list.

I know what you’re referring to with labels not showing until you zoom in further. Right now there is a space coefficient that I can’t adjust (I work on the Aero map personally), but I have this on my list and I’ll talk to the team about it next week and see if there are any quick fixes that can be made. I can’t promise it will be, but we will take a look. Peaks too :)
Hi Josh,
Is there any progress you were able to make on these improvements? These continue to be two of the main safety-diminishing issues in my opinion, i.e. you can’t trust knowing which potentially controlled airspace is ahead of you or around you when you need to look at that quickly and whether there is any major terrain to watch out for.
Thanks
Hi @wbardorf,
I don’t have an update for you on it, but I will bring it up with the team again. When I brought it up previously, we did determine that the adjustment needed airspace labels is not a quick fix, however, we have some ideas on how to improve it. We do have a plan for terrain and will need to test to see what effect it may have globally.
I don’t have a timeline to share when these improvements currently, but the concern is definitely noted.
All the best,
Josh
Hi Josh,
Now (since Garmin Pilot software version 10) that Garmin has broken their own flight plan transfers via Connext, I’m wondering whether Foreflight has solved the problems with VRPs which we discussed here (post # 469).
Do you know if that issue has been fixed? Do Foreflight flight plans transfer reliably to a GTN now?
Specifically, would the route shown below transfer correctly from Foreflight to a GTN navigator? From Garmin Pilot 10.x it doesn’t (the departure aerodrome, Kirkbride, is unrecognised and “locked”). From previous versions of GP it would work. As of February last year, the VRP waypoint would not transfer from Foreflight.
Hi @Jacko,
Apologies for the delay. I have checked with the team on this to see where they are. On VRPs, this is in work, but not available as of yet. I pushed this up in priority with the team involved though so I expect this to be resolved soon.
On the airport in you mentioned, with this particular example, we are also locked. We have some work to do to update our system to better support airports where they do not have codes and an internal code was given for the airport. For instance, Kirkbride has a specific code in Garmin and one in ForeFlight to ensure we can show it in our system (e.g. EG37). We are working on updates here as well, but I don’t have a timeline for this yet either.
I know this is not what you were hoping to hear here, but all the questions have helped to renew the priority of the work and we should have a fix soon.
All the best,
Josh
Hi All,
I know I’m late here, but wanted to share the most recent updates from the last ForeFlight Mobile release 12.6:
Weather in Profile View
Overheat Alerts
Additional Internet Traffic Details
New Mountain Peak Icons in High Resolution Basemap
More to come!
Best regards,
Josh
Hi Josh,
Thank you very much for the update on VRPs and small airports. My GP subscription has almost a year to run, so I’ll check back next spring.
Peter.
Josh – quick one – is there a way to extract the European Foreflight/Jeppesen navdata to use in my EFIS which only accepts Jeppesen navdata? I’d like to avoid buying the same data twice, obviously. Thanks!
Hi @Eurogaguest1980,
Thanks for reaching out. Are you thinking to use this to update the data on the EFIS? If so, we don’t have a way to do that, unfortunately. You would still need to purchase the data subscription from Jeppesen or your EFIS manufacturer (if they sell the data).
All the best,
Josh
