To Dynon Support,

What are the plans to support the upload of user defined flight plans and waypoints from a USB stick?

I would plead that you support .GPX (GPS eXchange Format) since it is almost the defacto OPEN standard for exchanging GPS information between different devices, and flight planning programs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.gpx
"GPX, or GPS eXchange Format is an XML schema designed as a common GPS data format for software applications.

It can be used to describe waypoints, tracks, and routes. The format is open and can be used without the need to pay license fees. Its tags store location, elevation, and time and can in this way be used to interchange data between GPS devices and software packages. Such computer programs allow users, for example, to view their tracks, project their tracks on satellite images (in Google Earth), annotate maps, and tag photographs with the geolocation in the Exif metadata."

Thank you,
Kind Regards
Rudi

.GPX support is already in beta testing and is working well. It will be part of the flight planning release which we hope to have by early next month.
