My challenge is manually uploading my flight routing onto the Garmin G3X or GTN650 on the aeroplane. I want to ask if there is a more easier way to sync my flight plans? Thanks

Thanks You can export to Garmin Pilot and FlightStream it to the panel.

Hi Adam Can you confirm whether it is possible to upload an FPL directly from Skydemon into a Garmin G3X if I have a suitable Bluetooth connector plugged into the RS232 port of the G3X - i.e NOT via Garmin Pilot software? Thanks

I understood that SD now allows direct transfers of radio and FPL data to certain 3rd party avionics but I can't find any recent update on connection to the G3X.....I know I can plug an RS232 Bluetooth dongle into the back of the G3X but not clear whether it will accept the data from the SD...
