I have been using the Garmin Pilot program for about 3 years. My flying
buddy has the Foreflight program. We have compared the two over many hours
of IFR and VFR flight together. I have to give the nod to Foreflight as the
better program. I will stay with Garmin though because I bought the GDL39
ADS-B antenna (which is also a gps antenna). The advantage is that the
Garmin GTN650 GPS in my Velocity panel can receive the data as well and I do
not have to pay a $50/month subscription fee for weather data. Foreflight
has the same antenna option with the Stratus.

By the way the founder of Foreflight is speaking this Thursday evening at
Wings of Carolina Flying Club, KTTA, Sanford, NC.

Well I finally broke down and bought an IPAD for the airplane. I have an
Ipad 2 with 32 G mem. Now the question is what software to run for flight
planning and GPS. I have been flying with Anywhere Map for years and have
liked it very much, especially the cones of safety. The next software I have
looked at is Fore Flight. Has anyone had experience with both of these who
could give me some guidance?
