Use the following tips and information when connecting a GPS and using route data:
• If you want to use the GPS receiver’s active route again, click Routes and
select Active GPS Route.
• You cannot get route data from GPS units that do not have route planning
capability.
• Any changes in the route or navigation state of the GPS (such as active
waypoint) are reflected in FliteDeck while the Active GPS Route is in use.
• You cannot edit or otherwise control the Active GPS route from FliteDeck.
FliteDeck is merely viewing the information from your GPS. Use the controls
on the GPS to manipulate the route.
NOTE
Although FliteDeck is not designed to take over control (editing,
sequence hold, setting active waypoint) of the active GPS route,
there is a way to make a copy of this route that you can control
with FliteDeck. With the route selected, click Reverse Route.
This makes a reversed copy of the route. Click Reverse Route
again. This makes another copy of the route which is the same,
but separate from, the active GPS route.
Saving an Active GPS Route
You can save the active route from your GPS into the FliteDeck Daily RoutePack to
use another day. When loading the route on a future date, work with the route in
FliteDeck, not your GPS. You can edit the route, set the active waypoint, or
otherwise manipulate it in FliteDeck. To save a route from your GPS into FliteDeck:
1. Load an active route into your GPS.
2. Connect the GPS to FliteDeck.
3. Click Routes (F12).
4. Make sure the Active GPS Route is selected.
