My flight planning software allows for a USB uplink to my Garmin 695. It works great but is mostly useless as all the waypoints transferred are seen as "user" waypoints and consequently a lot of features in the Garmin are lost. Not only that, the database gradually fills with too many user waypoints meaning that every time you go to select a familiar airport you must choose between the useless "user" waypoint and the actual Jepp. waypoint.

It occurred to me that a flight plan program that could output a flight plan in Garmin "Aviation" protocol might overcome these shortcomings. Naturally one would need to input data to the serial input on the Garmin and not the USB. Is there a source for the Garmin Aviation Protocol, and if there is, would it be legal to develop a flight planner around it?

Thanks for any input.
