The mission: Main goal is finding an Android based full featured flight planning app that allows saving the flight plan in a .GPX format so the flight plan file can be transferred to a USB flash drive ? then uploaded into a Dynon Skyview. The Android choices seem to be quite limited in this regard. Secondary goal, use the app in the cockpit as an emergency in flight mapping backup should the Dynon SkyView ever become unusable.
Apparently, SkyDemon (well regarded in Europe) is capable of saving flight plans in a .GPX format and supposedly has charts for the USA. Being primarily a European product, I?m wondering how well the USA is supported? Any SkyDemon users in the States care to comment about the pros or cons of using this app for flight planning and possible in route use as a mapping backup in the cockpit?
Another Android app that caught my attention is Navigator which is also capable of saving a flight plan in a .GPX format. Here again, any Navigator users in the USA care to comment about the pros or cons of using this app for flight planning and possible in route use as a mapping backup in the cockpit?
Are there other equally capable Android apps that fit the mission profile stated above that I should also consider?
