Garmin has added weather tools to its web-based flight planning platform to help pilots visualize and plan around adverse conditions. The enhancements include forecast visualizations that help pilots plan both VFR and IFR routes around challenging weather. Full-featured flight planning is available in North America at launch, and coverage for additional regions is planned for the future.

Garmin Pilot Web, which complements the Garmin Pilot mobile app, provides access to high-resolution maps, charts, aeronautical data, airport information, and weather overlays. The new weather suite adds several forecast and analysis features, including Future Radar, allowing users to move a playback bar forward to preview precipitation and storm movement along a planned route.
