Garmin Pilot update introduces new Flights page and other enhancements

Published

on

Revolutionary SmartCharts is expanding its reach, available soon for Canada and Mexico

OLATHE, Kan., July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced multiple updates for the Garmin Pilot™ mobile app for Apple® devices, including flight planning enhancements with the redesigned Flights page, SmartCharts expansion to Canada and Mexico, as well as enhancements to the SmartCharts and database product for the Oshkosh FISK Arrival.

“Garmin Pilot continues to evolve with innovative tools that help pilots plan and fly with greater confidence. The redesigned Flights page delivers a more intuitive flight planning experience with integrated routing, weight and balance, and fuel planning tools. The highly requested expansion of SmartCharts brings this simple, dynamic charting solution to more pilots flying in North America. And as thousands of pilots prepare to fly to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, we’re pleased to once again support them with the FISK arrival procedure in Garmin Pilot, SmartCharts and our navigation databases now with additional refinements including landing dots depicted on the runways and additional clarity on the SmartCharts procedure with enhanced labeling.”
–Carl Wolf, Garmin Vice President Aviation Sales, Marketing, Programs & Support 

New Flights page

The previous Trip Planning page on Garmin Pilot has been replaced with the new Flights page, now the central hub for planning and briefing every flight. It brings route planning, weight and balance, fuel planning, briefing and more into one cohesive experience, enabling pilots to manage their entire flight in a single place. Featuring a modern, intuitive user interface (UI), the Flights page streamlines planning and aligns the experience across Garmin Pilot Web and the mobile app for Apple® devices. New quickset cards further simplify weight and balance and fuel planning by allowing users to quickly enter key data. These cards can be expanded to reveal even more detailed information and serve as shortcuts to completing other planning tasks. The Flights page is available now in Garmin Pilot on Apple devices.

SmartCharts expanding to Canada and Mexico

The revolutionary charting solution, SmartCharts, will soon be available to Garmin Pilot Premium users in Canada and Mexico, expanding from the initial availability in the United States and Bahamas. SmartCharts is a dynamic aviation charting solution that provides pilots a simplified and intuitive experience by producing clear and relevant data to depict a chart tailored for their specific flight operation. 

In addition to all the previously announced SmartCharts features, pilots in Canada and Mexico will also be able to take advantage of the Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA) path shown on the vertical profile view. CDFA allows pilots to descend continuously on a constant path for a non-precision approach, providing a more stable approach and reducing pilot workload. Additionally, cold weather adjustments are available for Canadian and United States airports, allowing pilots to operate to cold temperature restricted airports and see the calculations and cold weather corrections on SmartCharts.

SmartCharts will be available in Canada and Mexico in August of this year. SmartCharts are included with a Garmin Pilot Premium subscription for pilots operating in the United States, Canada or Latin America regions. For pilots who fly across multiple regions, a Worldwide subscription option is also available.

Oshkosh FISK arrival

Garmin Pilot will once again support pilots flying to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 by incorporating the FISK VFR Arrival in Garmin navigation database and SmartCharts products. New enhancements to the procedure and airport diagram are designed to help pilots brief and fly the arrival with greater confidence.

The FISK VFR Arrival SmartCharts procedure now includes additional labels to help pilots more easily identify waypoints and important details directly on the chart. The Oshkosh airport diagram also includes the colored runway dots and squares used by ATC, making it easier for pilots to brief and fly to the assigned landing point. The Notes section of the arrival chart has also been updated for improved clarity, helping pilots quickly review key information before briefing and flying the arrival.

Pilots should continue to reference the full AirVenture NOTAM for complete arrival and departure information. To make the NOTAM easier to access, the FISK VFR Arrival SmartCharts procedure now links directly to the arrival page in the NOTAM using the flip-flop button within Garmin Pilot.

Additionally, the FISK procedure is available as an Arrival (STAR) in the Garmin navigation database. Beginning July 9 as part of the July database cycle update, users can also load the procedure directly into their avionics, providing lateral guidance along the arrival route so they can couple their autopilot to fly the procedure while maintaining visual awareness for waypoints and traffic. These enhancements are designed to help improve pilot confidence when flying the arrival.

Pilots interested in trying Garmin Pilot for the first time can take advantage of the 15 for 12 and Right Seat Rewards promotions, available at Garmin.com/AviationPromotions. Additionally, a new discount for existing Garmin Pilot users attending AirVenture 2026 can also receive a 10% discount code for their next renewal by visiting the Garmin Pilot team in the Garmin exhibit.

With the Launch of Next-Gen Vehicle Reports, Zoooom Breaks the Car History Monopoly and Stops the $40+ Consumer ‘Rip-Off’

Published

on

By

The first platform to pair deep vehicle history with real-time visual AI diagnostics for private-party sales—at a market-disrupting price.

CYPRESS, Calif., July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zoooom, the pioneering peer-to-peer automotive technology platform, today announced the launch of Zoooom Car Reports, a direct, unprecedented reckoning for the legacy vehicle history monopoly. By offering the exact same volume of core historical and technical data as major traditional players — but adding real-time AI assessments and localized transactional intelligence — Zoooom is completely transforming the impact of car reports and dismantling its bloated pricing structure.

Zoooom Car Reports breaks the vehicle-history monopoly: same data, AI diagnostics, and a market-disrupting price.

For decades, a single vehicle history report could cost $40+. Because all major players rely on the exact same underlying datasets, Zoooom views this legacy pricing model as an outright consumer rip-off. Zoooom’s new initiative is rooted in its vision of democratizing automotive data and unlocking total transparency for everyday consumers.

Dismantling the Paywall: The Most Aggressive Pricing in Automotive Tech

To accelerate market adoption and empower consumers to gain confidence when transacting in the peer-to-peer marketplace, Zoooom is introducing a highly disruptive pricing structure:

Always Free for Your Own Vehicle: Any car registered in a user’s Zoooom Digital Garage receives full history reports completely free, without conditions. Zoooom is built on the core promise that no one should ever have to pay to access the data they already rightfully own.

The Summer Launch Offer: From now until August 31, 2026, users can run up to three comprehensive vehicle reports completely free of charge (see website for full conditions).

Zoooom Price Advantage: Starting September 1st, Zoooom will transition to a permanent, highly aggressive price positioning. While specific commercial tiers remain under wraps to protect Zoooom’s market edge, the post-summer pricing will permanently slash traditional industry rates, undercutting even basic budget data aggregators while delivering significantly higher technical value.

Zoooom Marketplace Plus Benefit: In a continuous commitment for service excellence, any buyer who runs a paid Zoooom report on a vehicle not saved in a Zoooom Digital Garage will receive a 100% refund on that report if they complete their transaction on the Zoooom marketplace using Stripe.

Zoooom Car Reports Goes Beyond with Advanced Features and a Unique Set of Data

While legacy reports rely entirely on lagging administrative logs, police reports, or DMV registrations, the Zoooom Car Report introduces a suite of modern, highly actionable features guiding potential buyers to make the right decision:

The “AI Walkaround” Integration: Users conduct a 60-second guided visual video scan of the car. Zoooom’s proprietary AI immediately analyzes the footage to capture real-time cosmetic wear (such as body scratches or interior cabin condition) and actively verifies instrument clusters to ensure no warning lights are illuminated, significantly enriching the depth of the historical report.

Actionable “What to Do Next” Framework: Instead of burying critical information in dense walls of text, Zoooom filters vehicle data into an immediate, prioritized checklist, explicitly flagging overdue services or open safety recalls.

NHTSA Owner Complaints Context: Zoooom cross-references the specific vehicle make and model year with broader consumer databases. By flagging recurring, owner-reported mechanical and electrical vulnerabilities, Zoooom arms buyers with critical preventative knowledge before they buy that is simply not mentioned in any other reports.

Localized Transaction & Tax Guidance: Unlike standard reports, Zoooom customizes the output based on the vehicle’s exact jurisdictional location, explicitly calculating estimated state sales taxes and outlining regional title notarization or transfer laws.

Integrated Pricing Guide: Estimated Private Party, Trade-in, and Dealer values are embedded directly into the history timeline, eliminating the need to cross-reference third-party valuation sites.

A Message from Leadership

“Zoooom continues to build unique capabilities that are fundamentally transforming the peer-to-peer car marketplace,” said Sheng Wang, CEO and Co-Founder of Zoooom. “With the launch of Zoooom Car Reports, Zoooom once again establishes itself as an indispensable player in the industry, leveraging data to create advanced, customer-centric AI features. By removing the friction of legacy systems and connecting buyers and sellers the way consumers expect, we are eliminating both the ‘trust deficit’ and the unnecessary middleman markups that have plagued this industry for too many years.”

“Charging consumers exorbitant prices for simple database queries is an outdated practice,” added Christophe G., Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Zoooom. “With Zoooom Car Reports, we are delivering a superior level of value for our customers and an unmatched product for a fraction of the cost. The Summer Launch Offer provides a unique opportunity for car sellers and buyers to engage with our brand and discover the most advanced peer-to-peer car marketplace in America. There has never been a better time to join the Zoooom community and benefit from our exclusive ecosystem.”

Leveraging proprietary technology, Zoooom develops user-centric solutions that break down traditional industry friction, creating a streamlined, cost-effective, and enjoyable experience for car owners, buyers, and sellers.
