I've been using Skydemon for a couple of weeks now and think it's a fantastic product.

One issue I have come across is when I plan multiple routes and upload to the GPS, one after the other.

I plan a route (e.g. Fairoaks to Sandown) and save/upload to GPSmap495 OK.
I press "new route" and plan a second leg (e.g. Sandown to Compton Abbas). When I upload, there's no transfer and Skydemon hangs. I have to kill it via Windows Task Manager which takes ages.

This is incredibly frustrating and happens every time.

Can you please look into this ?

Thanks

We've seen this a couple of times before and appears to be an issue specific to the Garmin unit and/or drivers being used. There's nothing we can do from the SkyDemon side of things to make it work, sorry.

I have a 495 and transfer always works fine. If was doing a route Fairoaks, Compton Abbas, Bodmin (say), then I would treat it all as one route even if I landed at CA. What is to be gained from treating it as 2 separate routes. Even so I did 2 routes yesterday each with multiple legs and both transferred OK.

If you describe excatly how you produced such a problem I will try to reproduce and then help figure out a workaround.

Qs

1. Does each route have just 1 leg?
2. Do you rename the routes from the ones suggested by SD?
3. Which Garmin transfer method do you use .. via Setup/Devide connectivity or via Go Flying/Send route?

Cheers

Hi,

I've played around with different ways of transferring routes and had the same issue each time:

Does each route have just 1 leg?
