What fer? I recently sprung for the Performance Plus because I can make a flight plan with accuracy that equals FLTPLAN, file it, and then zap it to the PC12 all from my phone. But that’s nuclear overkill if you want sectional charts for bumping around in a piston single.

Then why'd you make it. At least throw in a meme or something for the peanut gallery.

I'm an old man that prefers my paper charts.

Just start with the most bare bones, if there’s a feature you discover you can’t live without wait for a bargain to come up and upgrade

I mean, you don’t need an HSI either but once you try one you’ll never want to go back to a DG and CDI

That's just it- I'm spoiled with it at work and I'll probably be lost without it.

If you do a lot of instrument flying, it’s a handy feature. It’s also really nice when you’re taxiing around an unfamiliar large airport.

I started with basic and upgraded for the geo referenced charts - the upgrade was prorated. Our SR20 transponder sends a WiFi signal that broadcasts position and WX akin to what that Stratus thing does. It’s pretty nice.

Pro Plus. Add Jeppesen to your subscription If you fly IFR.

Assuming you fly IFR, yes. Very nice feature.
If the battery on my iPad dies I’m going to declare.

Garmin Pilot was disappointing, I’d call in Foreflight 2010. Early on Garmin Pilot wouldn’t display an airport if the identifier had a number. Who the F would go to market with that, much less charge a fee? Spoke volumes about the quality control of their product.

When Garmin Pilot was new, it was definitely inferior to ForeFlight, but it has since caught up. Compatibility with reasonably priced android tablets is the number one reason. Additionally, if you are already used to Garmin Avionics, then Pilot is very intuitive.
I recently tried ForeFlight after receiving an iPad as a gift, and I used it a few times and then switched back to Garmin. It does everything ForeFlight does now AND for me, is more intuitive.

Pro plus. If you fly a GA aircraft other than a clapped out Cessna you can afford it. [insert pretentious soapbox emoji]

I think the regular basic subscription is plenty, unless you're going to be flying IMC in somewhat hilly or mountainous terrain. I don't think you are, so I'd just save the extra money and put it towards another hour of flying!
ForeFlight is very intuitive and I think I wish we used it at work instead of Jepp Pro.
