Otherwise I like the program even more each release ....... Bill Bill Tags coordinates Plog

If yes its really easy to transfer route from SD to Garmin; can even do it with an old Pilot 3 via usb/serial converter. 296 and upwards is via USB cable. Data transfer takes about 10 secs. Need to remember that it does clog up your garmin with waypoints but these can be removed from time to time very easily (and by category). Cheers david

This does not work with Skydemon since no lat/longs are shown on the plog except for user points. Obviously VORs etc are ok since they are normally in the GPS database. The problem occurs with visual points, cities etc Humbly suggest another tickbox in the print route dialogue "Always show lat/long" or maybe an option with "show RNAV" NB Very good program IMHO Bill Bill
