I wonder if any G1000 users have had any issues importing SD flight plans.  Up until now it's worked perfectly but on a recent flight from Carcassonne to Cannes it said that it couldn't import the flight plan as there was an error and a map of Russia came up on the screen.

I suspect that there was a waypoint that was duplicated with one elsewhere in the world but I'm not sure as the G1000 seems to rename waypoints for some reason.

Anyway, does anyone know how you can sanity check the SD FP before trying to upload it to the G1000?

Thanks

I don't think we rename anything. We encode waypoints in a format the Garmin should understand, but we can only do that with known waypoints such as radio navaids and five-letter airways reporting points. Other things need to be encoded as user waypoints, I believe, with the exception of ICAO airfields where their ICAO identifier is used.

Thanks Tim.

The error has happened on every FPL I've done since I posted this.  I'm going into the G1000, deleting the locked waypoint and it seems to work. 

When I have ground power back home I will have a further play with it.
