Hi. 

There have been many posts and suggestions  on this forum and elsewhere requesting a facility  for exporting Sky Demon routes to autopilots and other devices over the last few years.
Since the introduction of Sky Demon we have all benefitted greatly from its planning, navigation and briefing capabilites and has become the preferred choice of most GA pilots.  
However, one option that has been missing from its capabilities  was the ability to integrate  Sky Demon with general aviation autopilots.
Due to the increased interest in this requirement I believe  that  Sky Demon may now be prepared to explore such an integration.
It would help the case for developing this capabilty if those interested could express their support and interest on this forum.
Also, if anyone is aware of an existing  solution using readily available off the shelf  and budget friendly hardware please share this information here as this will reduce reasearch and development time and make an approved  solution more likely.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Alan Maynard

As stated by BJS
It seems crazy that we  have certified autopilots coupled to devices such as the lowly  Garmin196, but we are not able to utilize the amazing capabilities of an IPad or smart phone running Sky Demon just because we cant export a route to the autopilot !!! 
Surely there is a consumer blue tooth device capable of providing this interface out there?
If you know of one please help
