SkyDemon now supports exporting of flight plans in Garmin GTN flight plan format. According to the GTNxi manual, I should be able to drop these on to an SD card, and import them to my 650xi via an option on the ‘Catalogue’ menu.

Using neither a blank card, nor the Navdata card, seems to work, so either the SD export format is not actually being recognised, or I’m doing something daft.

Has anyone else tried to do this?

For the record, I have now discovered the secret to making this work.

For the GTN to recognise the presence of routes to be imported, they have to be placed into a folder named \FPL on the SD card.

Unfortunately this detail is not specifically mentioned in the GTNxi series user manual!

Thanks Graham.
