On SD there's a menu item 'Send to Garmin Piot' with a complete route in SD pressing this simply opens up Garmin Pilot - no FP or trip or route appears I cant find out how to import a .FPL file into Garmin anyway so I guess Im reduced to copying and pasting this is the same issue which has been reported over several years it seems I know Android became a bit paranoid in in version 13 (aug 22) about allowing access to file locations - making it very difficult to move files about and damaged such interoperability - maybe thats it? anyone know any more? is there a way of getting .fpl into garmin pilot?

This means you can open routes from the internet just by clicking a link, and a link is what SkyDemon opens too. If the Garmin Pilot app is ignore links sent without giving you any feedback at all, that sounds like a bug in the Garmin Pilot product.
