Hello everyone

I just tested the SkyDemon web and was very happy with the possibilities and especially with the very easy to use user interface. I would love to start using it on a regular basis (web or plan doesn’t matter), but I have one problem: there is no possibility to export the route to the Garmin *.fpl format. All the new aviation GPS like our GPS695 support only this format to read/write flight plans from SD card, and GPX is not supported.

This sadly makes the Skydemon useless for our group of pilots at the moment. Is there any chance that Skydemon will support the FPL format in near future?

Thanks and greetings from Switzerland

Ueli

Hi Tim, and thanks for your reply. I can imagine that it runs well that way if somebody has his own Garmin 695, but many people don't use the 695 as a portable device but have it installed in the airplane panel. That is the case in the plane I fly too, and I can't take the 695 home to send the flight plan to it. If it was possible to save the flight plan as *.FPL, our group of pilots could prepare the flights at home and just bring the SD card in the pocket to the airport.



I hope you can understand now why I was asking about this feature Smile
