I mean it’s not that USA data hasn’t been better than the rest of the world’s right from the start.

This is good news; and means we should fly to as many US airports etc as we can and do Zendesk tickets to help them make the update really good! :small_airplane: :smiley_cat:

They are literally addressing each and every single community complain. The Garmin will be further developed, Jorg literally said “I’ve changed my mind” after seeing our feedback. Come on, they are working their asses off and actually listening. Don’t be a Debbie Downer, the future is bright and beautiful :slight_smile:

If we always expect negative things we will surely get those negative things …

Whilst London, Paris and landmarks such as Notre Dame and Buckingham Palace have been turned into tenement buildings, and US already has almost every major city covered, what we REALLY need more of is minor cities in the US…

Do you feel he was referring to water reflections when he said, “I’ve changed my mind”?

No, he was talking about the Garmin. The original plan was to not develop it too much, but that’s now changed :smiley:

I heard him say that about not doing more of the G1000 functions; now they are going to go ahead and do it properly.

Any updates on the building height issue?

Yes, go to L35 big bear lake. Last time I was there they did not have those massive building around the airport.

Some of the bigger airports (B and C) need correct taxi markers When ACP has you do H C L to reach 20R KSNA, makes it hard when they are A B C D. Good thing we have ForeFlight

Yes, we should encourage people to point issues, complain, etc but when it turns into trolling, just hit the flag button and let the mods handle it. They are very fair and will take proper action if necessary.
