I noticed that when I plug in my USB Flash Drive - the "Load Flight Plan" window shows a path to the flashdrive as \usb\filename.

Can I connect the IFly to my laptop using a USB "A" to "A" cable and somehow change this path statement to the location of my GPX files such C:\IFLY\FlightPlans.
Then IFly could display a list of any saved GPX files in this folder. I would NOT want to lose the USB Flash Drive upload capability - it does work and is a great backup.
It just seems that if we could use the "A" to "A" cable -- we could eliminate having to:
(a) down load the file to the computer
(b) copy the file to the flash drive
(c) plug flash drive into IFly.
(d) Upload file.
It would be nice to have to do only steps (a) and (d) to upload files and skip the middle man steps (b) and (c).
If this is not possible now.... would you consider this in a future update?
