I have recently purchased a SD Mobile MD and its great. Its ideal to just chuck in the bag and go fly. Before flight, the Mobile MD is synced with SD Plan via USB cable to throw across all relevant NOTAMS/Maps/route etc for the day. What i would like to get away from is the necessity to lug around the cumbersome laptop to perform said task before flight. What, if possible, is the smallest, minimalist way of performing the "update brief"? I would like to make the laptop redundant, especially on a several day trip in a small aircraft.

Not complicate this, but can you load the 'brief' onto flash card from Ipad (via adapter) and plug card into Mobile MD to perform update? Just one idea to keep it small and minimal.
