Hi Danny,

AirPlan can do what you want to do, and its only $10 to register it.

Download it from http://www.razorsedgesoft.com/airplan.htm and you can
use it free for 60 days.

Danny,

Just one note. AirPlan only supports the RS-232 interface to the
Garmin 96, so you will need to get an RS-232 interface cable from
Garmin to transfer routes to the Garmin 96.

The Garmin 96 has aviation data built in. If yours doesn't, it either
isn't a Garmin 96, or something wiped it out. If it's a 96 and you're
very lucky, loading a new aviation database update will restore it.

There is a program out there called AviaDBM which gives you full
access to the installed aviation database, and can make geniune
routes, but it doesn't have a map display page.

My solution was to just learn to use the handheld GPS. I sat in my armchair
and planned my flight from central NY to Houston TX -- and did it probably
as quick as a PC based system actually. I was very impressed with the
capability of the handheld and its little display.
