Hi there,

Having spent a few weeks playing with the web version of the planner, I've decided that - for the time being at least - I'm going to go for the Windows version on my mac (through vmware), since it has more features like GPS sync and better printing options.

I've got a question though.  When I synced a plan that included waypoints built into my Garmin 495 (NDB's etc), Skydemon made custom waypoints for them instead, rather than use the built in database.  It works the same (apart from not having the correct icon) so no big as far as I can see initially, but I just wondered why this is?

Thanks

It depends on the logic the Garmin device uses, but it seems like a good guess to me. We use the position as promulgated through the official AIP.
