Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 91	Hi nje, I load in the log and it displays as a blue line and all the correct details for the flight. However, in the Analysis menu the 'Export Log to File' is greyed out. Is there something else I should be doing, other than just using the 'Open Flight log from library' option?

Once you route is displayed on screen, go back to Analysis and then Export log to file should be available. All this is assuming you have synced your device and you have some logs available to view
