Desktop to iPad and back again

I have asked the question elsewhere and been ignored so I will ask here

Currently I plan on a destop PC, squirt the route to a Chinese GPS unit and then on return squirt the track back again.

Can I continue to do this (easily) if I used an iPad (Mini) in flight, or is the transfer between desktop PC and unit more complicated, thus that it would be easier to plan on the Apple (spit!) device?

Happy New Year all

Desktop to iPad is simple as long as your iPad is connected to the internet, just select: [Route] | [Save to Cloud] on the PC and open from cloud on the iPad using [Route] | [Open from Cloud].

To get your route onto a non SkyDemon GPS you need to either use a USB cable or plug the SD card into your PC.

I generally fly with a cheapy GPS unit, but also take an iPad with an external GPS as a backup
