Disappointed
by A Customer from Mars
Review: Max's voice is way too soft and monotone, making it difficult to follow along. I was expecting the program to be more interactive and was very disappointed. There was only one little section on tuning radios that was interactive, the rest was just listening...zzzzzzzzz

OK, but not very interactive
by A Customer from Bella Vista AR USA
Pros: Comprehensive
Cons: Lack of interactivity
Review: This is a decent program for learning the basics of the G1000 system. However, it could use more interactivity. Also, the narrator tends to speak for long periods without relevant visual material being displayed on the screen. Additionally, the G1000 system has changed, making some of the course material out of date.

A must-have for G-1000 pilots!!
by Marc Doss from Olive Branch, MS (OLV)
Pros: Very thorough. The interactive
Cons: Needs some video, not just still photos. Needs more of the interactive
Review: One of the best $99 purchases I've made!! There's no telling how much money this software saved me.
I bought this before going through the official Cessna-approved G-1000 check-out program. The check-out went quickly because I was so prepared. I could even info that the instructor couldn't find!!

by Walter from Los Angeles
Pros: A backup to the book, but not a replacement
Cons: CD had less content, was a little unsophisticated as a software product
Review: Max Trescott’s Garmin G1000 "book" is priceless. It is well written and easy to read. I refer to the book constantly. However, the CD version of the book was a little disappointing. In my opinion the CD version contained less content, was a little unsophisticated as a software product and I simply never use it as a reference.

On Friday, January 25, 2008 a customer asked:
Q: Is this software compatible with Microsoft Vista?
A:
Yes, this software is compatible with Windows Vista.
On Monday, November 19, 2007 a customer asked:
Q: How well do you cover the KAP 140 autopilot in your course. Also the Garmin integrated autopilot. I am taking a checkride in a C-182T NAV III and I need to know the A/P well. After I purchase your course, and go through it, will I have to still buy a separate course on the KAP 140 autopilot to explain it to me fully?
A:
Both the KAP 140 and early versions of the Garmin integrated autopilot, used in Beechcraft and Columbia, are covered thoroughly. The 2007 Cessna 182 and 206 have a new version of the integrated autopilot that adds one new key, a VNV key for vertical navigation, that is not covered in the software.
