Thanks, Tim; that's rather what I expected.

It's not a killer complaint, as the supplied Garmin mapping tool for PCs will do what I want, and might even output a selective GPX file I could read into SD. Thing is, SD seems so good, I wouldn't want to fiddle around with anything else!

Will set about buying the full version today or tomorrow!

It seems that while many (most?) Garmin devices correctly send back (to us) multiple logs, one for each flight, some send back a great big blob containing all points as if one big flight has been undertaken. We would need to implement further logic within SkyDemon to attempt to detect the breaks between such flights and split the blob up ourselves. We don't have any symptomatic Garmin devices sitting around so this will have to wait until we next have posession of one.

Hi Team -

Firstly congratulations on creating such an amazing product. I've just started playing with it and it seems to do everything I need. I have a Garmin 695, which is now rather clunky compared to the latest offerings for VFR devices, and I placed a bet with myself that it would baulk at receiving a flight plan from SD. But no, it received it without complaint, and I'm a very happy soul.

However, when I tried to pull down logs from the Garmin, I found there seems to be no way of separating them into individual flights; I ended up with all my flights from the last year or so displayed on the map, all concatenated into one very long journey.

I like to keep these logs on the Garmin in case I need to refute an accusation of an incursion or something (never have, though), so I don't want to delete each one after every flight.

Is there any way I can do this?

 Regards
