Hi Shane:

Thanks for the quick answer. I guess that explains why AutoTaxi+ retriggers when I'm on the ground, before I've reached 35 kts.

Can you all make it so that once AutoTaxi+ has been dismissed on the ground by the pilot, it can't automatically come back again until after take off? (That is, until the plane has crossed 35 kts on the way up?)

I'll play with it again when I shoot some ILS's. If it triggers while I'm on the missed and/or doing a T'n'G, then perhaps the arrival trigger speed and/or altitude can be set a little lower? (From previous discussions here in the forum, I realize that GPS altitude isn't all that accurate.) As you know, 200 ft is the typical DH. Could you lower it to 150 feet instead? Or lower the landing trigger to, say, 15 knots or less for at least ten seconds?

I second this fix. I live on the airport and the app is unusable until I turn off the auto taxi

Okay, I shot some ILS's Saturday and even did a T'N'G out of one of them. The AutoTaxi+ did not pop up on my tablet that I was using for the Plates. (Set in Full Screen Plate mode.) Now that I think about it, I don't know if it could have popped up if it wanted to in the Full Screen Plate mode. But if it could have, then it seems like AutoTaxi+ is okay there.

But it was still "falsing" on my on departure. And I noticed that if I switched Map Modes (from Sectional to Vector), it reset things so that AutoTaxi+ popped up again.

So again, if there could be some kind of additional "circuitry," such that, once dismissed, AutoTaxi+ cannot pop up again until after you're airborne (and landed again), that would be nice.

If there is a bug with Auto-Taxi, I should be able to get this fixed for 9.4. I'll probably work with ErgoMike for more details and validation.

Im fairly sure the auto taxi bug is because (from my assessment) an aditional condition is needed based on transitioning below some determined speed.
