Thanks, Rowland.
Unfortunately my Mac is an older one that doesnt have the M1/2 chip and I dont
have a PC, but youre right that this would work for file transfer.
When you use your GPSmap 296 to fly a route with the Trutrak, can you easily
override
or cancel that route and choose a different track, but yet continue to
use the 296 to provide GPS location/track info to the Trutrak? Reprogramming the
296 in flight with a temporary new track, would seem fiddly compared to just
punching in a new track number to the Trutrak box?

is also a TruTrak wing leveller, driven from a Garmin GPSmap 296. I run the
SkyDemon app on my Mac Mini with an M1 chip, which allows me to install and run
(some) iPad apps. I can plan a route on the Mac and export a GPS file (.GPX)
---From SkyDemon, and then transfer it to the 296 using the LoadMyTracks app and
a USB-serial adaptor. If youre not a Mac person, I understand that there is a
SkyDemon app for Windows but know nothing about it.
