Any help please. I would like to transfer routes from a Nexus 7 ( android) to a Garmin 496. I use my Nexus for all my route planning and in flight monitoring but use the 496 for my autopilot. I appreciate I can up load to the cloud etc but it would be so slick to transfer an SD route directly to the 496. Any thoughts?

Thanks for that. That's a shame because in many aircraft the 496 is the standard setup for autopilot operation but it is difficult ( but not impossible) to replicate SD routes, especially where user waypoints have been setup.
Are there any other devices out there which are able to receive SD routes from an Android device or Ipad that can drive an autopilot? Can SD run on a device which can run an autopilot? Cheers

I own a Garmin gpsmap 495 myself for backup. Yours should be the same device, adding street navigation. I simply use my Notebook & Skydemon for Windows to transfer routes to the 495/6 via USB. Works fine.
