Flight Planning bug

Using the new Flight Planner to enter a flight from KCHD to KDVT. Want to use the VFR corridor through the PHX Bravo. I had earlier created  2 user waypoints for the entry and exit points for the VFR route, PHX SOUTH and PHX NORTH. Those points display correctly on the map.  I click the map expand icon in the upper right, so I can get to the traditional route editing area. I can add the enroute waypoint graphically, or search for the waypoint name and enter it into the flight legs. The map displays the route correctly.  When I click the check mark in the upper right to go back to the new format page, the waypoints are gone, replaced instead with fix names of PHX, SOUTH PHX NORTH, which now has a route distance of over 19,000 miles. It is not using the stored lat/lon of the user waypoints.

  • Hello, I am unable to reproduce the issue on my side but it is likely the issue you encountered was fixed in the newest Garmin Pilot update. Can you confirm you are using version 26.8.0? You can find that by going to Settings>General. Thank you!

  • Still doing it.  The issue is that I have user waypoints stored in my G3X and Pilot. When I go to the page that has the "old" route entry,  I can find the waypoint, and it displays properly on the chart display.  But when I click the check mark in the upper right it tries to treat the way point names like IFR points,  not user waypoints. So my point that is called PHX SOUTH, gets broken up into the PHX VOR, and a fix called SOUTH,  which is on the other side of the world. I don't want to file a flight plan,  just upload the route into the aircraft. 

    I will check and see if my fix names are causing the problem. Will remove the space in the name.

    Yep. If I remove the space and call it PHXSOUTH, it works as expected in the VFR planning mode.
