With that, we will finally have the opportunity to plan a route on the iPad/iPhone, export it to a SD Card and then feed that information in a Garmin G3X Touch. A great time saver!

This produces an email with a series of attachments one of which is a Garmin compatible flight plan. Alternatively you can export to Garmin format from the desktop version of the software.

An easy path, independent from Garmin's strategy re opening Connext to third parties, and an important step towards travelling light with iOS devices!

Otherwise, the simplicity of the product wins, sorry. We do make it easy to export the current route to Garmin Pilot, to make it easier for people to then upload that route into their avionics, perhaps Garmin Pilot supports saving to an SD card?

I don't see that the export option in the PC version makes it less simple. It appears only in the save dialogue. So it should not complicate the App in iOS also.

You could use the Share option, option mail and cut&paste into the Files.app ? Yes, it is clumsy, but a way.
