Foreflight flight plan with procedure import to Garmin GPS

I have recently upgraded my 1981 Cessna R172K with a Garmin GPS 175. I'm able to stream simple flight plans from the GPS to Foreflight without a problem. But, if I add an approach and then try to stream it, it gets imported with an error regardless of the direction. i.e. KPAN VPGCF VPGCG KKNB imports fine from FF to GPS but if I add a standard FAA approach such as the RNAV (GPS) RWY 01 with an in IAF of DEDKE in FF and then try to send it to the GPS, it doesn't recognize the procedure. And, if I simply add the same FAA approach (RNAV (GPS) RWY 01 with an in IAF of DEDKE) in the GPS and send it to FF, it imports with an error as well.

Any help? I have a request into Garmin who shows no issue with Garmin Pilot & Garmin GPS and is looking for someone internal who has FF to test the issue I'm experiencing.

  • Hello, I apologize as it has been quite a while but I tested the route you mentioned as well as a few other procedures and was unable to get an error. Are you still getting this error and if so are there any new procedures you are having an issue with? Just to be clear I tested with both ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot to be thorough.
