Hi Guys,

Does anyone know a way that you can generate a GPX file, put it on the
data card and then insert it into the GPS?

If not the KLN94, are there any units out there like this?

Cheers

I have a KLN 89/B and before you can download the data you have to up in
the GPS code that you get off the unit. It keys the database download to
only that GPS. I missed reading the digit the first time and the GPS
would not load. Honeywell corrected my subscription and I did it
correctly the second time. I just found out that the dataloader is not
compatible with Windows Vista, but they are working on a update.

I doubt safeguarding Jepp data was a goal of King's selection of
non-standard cards.

The Garmin (nee-UPSAT) 480 and it's complementary MX20/GMX200
use industry standard cards (CF for the earlier units, SD for
the later) and standard Windows filesystems.

Jepp data (even for units with proprietary cards) is downloaded
to your computer for programming with either the standard interface
or the egregious skybound interface for the other Garmin units.
