Group: Forum Members Posts: 9, Visits: 48	I have Skydemon on both Ipad and PC. I have just purchased a Garmin Aera 500 GPS unit and wish to upload routes planned with Skydemon onto it. Using my PC, I have been through Setup > device connectivity options > I have a garmin device, and managed to locate my GPS when plugged in. I have uploaded a route, but when I view it in the Garmin, each waypoint appears as points with textual names and no infomation that links in with the Garmin. For instance, if I plan a route EGHR (Goodwood) - MID - HOGBA - EGKB (Biggin Hill) in Skydemon and send this to my Garmin, the flightplan when opened is something like Chichester Goodwood - MID - HOGBA - Biggin Hill, with no ICAO codes, no frequencies, no runway infomation etc, each waypoint is just a point with no further inofmation attached, I also cannot activate approaches on it, as the Garmin is taking me to "Biggin Hill" and not recognising this as EGKB (an airport). Is there a way I can send a route to my Aera 500, which will link in with the garmin databases on the GPS?
