I wd like to suggest an improvement re managing routes.

At present when in PC or Mobile (from within programme), its necessary to delete "old" routes individually  .. not only that you have to do it on both or they will reappear!

I wd like to ask for ability to select a number at a time on the PC and a "delete all" function on the mobile (ones you want to keep on the PC will come back again at next sync).

Its easy to get very cluttered up!!

Great suggestion. I don't think we can enable multiselect in the Open dialog because SkyDemon can't open more than one route at once (currently) but bear in mind you can go into your Documents folder, then SkyDemon, then Routes, to manage them using Windows Explorer.

What would you think of an option under the device connectivity settings whereby SkyDemon would automatically delete any routes on your device that aren't in your PC route library?

THe way I use SD means that additional routes on mobile is unlikely, esp as Navigon has no virtua; keyboard. I plan in PC and xfer to card.

My suggestion wd be as follows;

1. Put a Delete All button on mobile.
2. Enable multiple delete within SD on PC
3. When sync, delete any routes on mobile that are not on PC  .. as u suggest.

From time to time I purge my 296 of routes. That reminds me any way the Garmin export cd use the route name rather tan the rather indecopherable (and long) names it gets now?

What route name? The route name, as I understand it, is what we use when we name routes on the Garmin device.

I defined a route on PC and named it Sturg b1.flightplan (for Sturgate from Bagby [b1]). On Garmin 496 the route on the Garmin is shown as BAGBY-EGCS-07FEB11. Wd prefer original name.

While we are on this topic, can you export a single route to a SkyDemon Mobile device? I always do via sync button. But in situation like a club trip, its useful to have one route ported to all on the trip (who of course have ful SD software!  .. 7 and counting at Bagby).

We arrived at the current naming of exported routes after quite a lot of feedback from Garmin users. We can't just switch to using the filename, partly because we're quite happy with the current system (implemented due to feedback) and partly because there may well not even be a filename, if the route isn't saved.

I really like the idea of having an option to export a single route to a connected SkyDemon Mobile device.
