I have been able to successfully import gpx files into the 720 from the AOPA Flight planner. (The old version appears to work better than the 2.0 Beta version which inserts additional tags that are not in the older one.)

There are a couple of odd behaviors that could work better though.

1. When I import the file, the first time I look at the flight plan on the flight planning screen, the labels for the waypoints and airports appear as they did in the original file. After saving the route and reloading it though, all the labels are gone and replaced with lat/long. Is there any way to keep the labels?

2. The labels that get brought over do not link to airport records the way they do when entered directly onto the 720. Is there any way to have those matched up to allow easy access to the airport information?

Thanks,

Paul

Woo Hoo!

Now that's responsive bug fixing (not sure that this is really fair to call a bug)!

Thanks
