We use Dynon Skyview in our plane and have trouble loading GPX route files into it.
These can be written to memory stick from a PC made up by Skydemon, but when I am travelling the iPad I use cannot write to sticks as you know.

Dynon has now introduced an open wifi interface to their terminals to do this and this is quite interesting.
Foreflight (not suitable for Europe) and Easy VFR now support this interface, but I am not a fan of these systems.

Is there a chance Skydemon would support this in the future?
Talked to Michael Shofield of Dynon and he said they would be happy to support this, but you have not been in touch he said.

when you go to ‘go flying’ you should be presented with two choices. 1. Location services, 2. Dynon SkyviewChoose the Dynon option and then you should be ok.Good luck

Exactly, that is what I already did and the dynon skyview gps source works fine.
The flightplan still does not arrive.

I asked it on the Aero2019 fair in Friedrichshafen in the booth of Dynon. The representative told me that this should work when you have 1 Skyview device and 1 WiFi dongle. But I have 2 Skyview devices and only one has a WiFi dongle. I would need a secons WiFi dongle according to this guy. Even switching off the device without the WiFo dongle will not change behaviour he said because the other device wil 'remember' that there is a second device configured.
I find that odd because you cannot connect to two WiFi sources at the same time and when entering a flight plan by hand or by usb-drive import, you do not have to repeat that for the other skyview device. The devices are interconnected and automatically distributes the entered flightplan to the other screen.

So ... still searching for a solution.
Is there anyone who can concur with the story of the Dynon representative?

See page 15-13 of the Dynon Skyview install manual.
You need 1 wifi dongle per Skyview screen. So 2 if you have 2 screens.
