| Subject: | More on Garmin Aviation Protocol |
My flight planning software allows for a USB uplink to my Garmin 695. It works
great but is mostly useless as all the waypoints transferred are seen as "user"
waypoints and consequently a lot of features in the Garmin are lost. Not only
that the database database gradually fills with too many user waypoints meaning
that every time you go to select a familiar airport you must choose between
the useless "user" waypoint and the actual Jepp. waypoint.
It occurred to me that a flight plan program that could output a flight plan in
Garmin "Aviation" protocol might overcome these shortcomings. Naturally one would
need to input data to the serial input on the Garmin and not the USB. Is
there a source for the Garmin Aviation Protocol, and if there is, would it be
legal to develop a flight planner around it?
Thanks for any input.
