Elsewhere on the Forum, someone was concerned that because of physical abilities of the iFly 7XX, the new flight plan feature will not be used on those platforms.  This is a problem because some users have the iFly more or less permanently mounted in their aircraft.  This also means they may not be able to use the flight plan sharing feature. 

Would it be possible to add to iFly Connect, the option to automatically transfer selected flight plans already found on the Windows machine, to the iFly SD card already inserted in the Windows computer to update maps and such?

While you're waiting to hear back, you can already copy those flight plans over manually.  You should be able to find your flight plans on the Windows machine here:  C:\_iFlyGPS_Data\User\#FlightPlans .

I don't have an SD card from an iFly device handy, but it shouldn't be too hard to poke around in the folder structure on that card to find the corresponding flight plan folder there.  Copy the files from one folder to the other, and voila.

Yes, I did that yesterday.  Seems simple enough.  But having it automated with Connect would seem to be easier.  I have my 740 at home, so I don't have the problem.  Just seems like others do, or may.

I was going to make this exact same request, but found this existing thread.  Recently, I've been copying the flight plan manually from my windows machine to the SD card after doing the update.  It would be great if there was a check box you could select to have flight plans copied as part of the iFlyConnect update.

Thanks,

Rusty
