Now it’spossible to export direct flight plans to GARMIN Pilot.

It's possible to connect the ipad via Bluetooth with the Garmin 660 device.

It would be very helpful to export planned routes to the Garmin 660 also.

I don't understand why it's not possible.

Garmin Pilot and Garmin 660 GPS are both from GARMIN .

Perhaps it would be possible to ask the guys from Garmin to get this feature.

Have now purchased my own Aera660 ... with SkyDemon on the PC it's easy enough to save a SD route as a .fpl to the 660's microSD card, either via a card reader, or with the 660 connected to the PC and set to 'mass storage'; MS Explorer shows two drives, one labelled as the Aera and the second, the SD card, as a separate drive.  So with the new .fpl on the 660's SD card the route can be loaded from Main menu > Flight plan list > Menu > Import.  I guess Garmin Pilot loads the route directly to the 660 via Connext, either on ground or in-flight?
Perhaps a potential work-around for route transfer from SD to 660 could be via Bluetooth SDIO card in a SD-to-microSD extension card adaptor plugged into the 660, but this would require SD to add an optional external drive to the Route > Save option.  It wouldn't offer seamless sychronisation between tablet and 660 but might be acceptable while on the ground.
