Hello everyone

I just tested the SkyDemon web and was very happy with the possibilities and especially with the very easy to use user interface. I would love to start using it on a regular basis (web or plan doesn’t matter), but I have one problem: there is no possibility to export the route to the Garmin *.fpl format. All the new aviation GPS like our GPS695 support only this format to read/write flight plans from SD card, and GPX is not supported.

This sadly makes the Skydemon useless for our group of pilots at the moment. Is there any chance that Skydemon will support the FPL format in near future?

Thanks and greetings from Switzerland

Ueli

Could you upload a few FPL files here for our reference please? This will help us decide when we can devote some resources to adding this as a file format option. You might have to rename them to XML extension before this forum software will allow you to upload them.

Hi,

I have the same problem/question.

The xml schema for .fpl is obviously not published by Garmin.

Here´s a sample file "produced" by the 695 unit itself and than copied to the SD-card.

(.fpl renamed to .xml)





hope that´ll help....

regards
