OLATHE, Kan./June 16, 2026 – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today details new features and enhancements in the Garmin Pilot mobile app.
·
Previously only available on Garmin Pilot Web, the Daily Weather feature is now available on Apple mobile devices, allowing pilots to see future forecasts in a new Daily Weather tab.
·
To help provide a smoother ride, a new turbulence layer – available on both Garmin Pilot mobile and web – displays forecasted turbulence on the map, so pilots can see if it exists along the planned route of flight.
·
Additionally, Database Concierge users can now use an updated user interface, to more easily view the status of installed navigation databases and available updates.

Garmin Pilot’s new Daily Weather feature, previously web-only, is now available on Apple mobile devices, offering pilots up to six-day weather forecasts with hourly breakdowns. The feature displays conditions as VFR, MVFR, IFR, or LIFR using a visual timeline that can be adjusted to preview weather changes. Pilots can access this data in the Airports tab under the Weather section alongside METARs, TAFs, and MOS forecasts.

A new turbulence weather layer has been added to Garmin Pilot Web and mobile, allowing pilots to overlay forecasted turbulence on their flight plan maps. The turbulence data covers altitudes from the surface to 45,000 feet MSL in the U.S., with global coverage from 11,000 feet MSL to 45,000 feet MSL planned for release soon. This tool helps pilots identify and avoid areas of intense turbulence during flight planning.

Database Concierge users now have an updated user interface on iOS mobile devices to view navigation database status and available updates more easily. The new interface streamlines access to Database Concierge and includes an aircraft selector for pilots managing multiple aircraft, simplifying the process of checking and updating databases across fleets.

These updates are available now as a free software update for existing Garmin Pilot users. New users can take advantage of the 15 for 12 promotion at Garmin.com/AviationPromotions. Additional details are available at Garmin.com/GarminPilot.
