Greetings

I just purchased Skydemon to evaluate alongside other iPad-based moving-map apps (Air Navigation Pro, Memory Map). A key requirement for me is to exchange routes in .gpx format between various apps and systems. As such, I was disappointed to discover that the "export via email" option within Skydemon on the iPad does not produce an email-attached .gpx file (only the legacy .flightplan format). This makes it impossible to migrate between apps on the iPad (I would have to go out to Skydemon on a PC, and convert the file there, then re-import etc -- i.e., a non-starter).

So, to the Skydemon developers:

1) Am I missing something in the settings which would enable the .gpx export via email from iPad (if so, apologies, please advise on how to enable) ?

2) If the functionality is indeed missing, may I request that you include it as soon as practical ?

3) In the meantime, can you email me the xslt transform so I may "roll my own" converter accordingly

Thanks in advance !

Yes, I would greatly appreciate a feature allowing me to export flightplans in gpx format!!! And I know several people (e.g., those owning a MGL EFIS) who would join in with me.

Tim,
Yes please, at the moment it is tedious having to re-program the Garmin especially if the waypoints are not in heir database. So a GPX export would be spiffing (via email).

Here's my "me too" post: would love to see export to gpx on the ipad. Without it, it's only half the fun for me. My EFIS (MGL Voyager) can import gpx. I'd be a happy camper if the two could exchange information.

Voici mon message "moi aussi": j'adorerais voir exporter vers gpx sur l'ipad. Sans cela, ce n'est que la moitié du plaisir pour moi. Mon EFIS (MGL Voyager) peut importer des gpx. Je serais un campeur heureux si les deux ont échangé des informations.
