Unable to convert to Garmin flightplan- feature not available

[vj777]

Thanks very much for providing this tool and for making it open source.  Very much appreciated.  

I'm trying to use it (for the first time) - I am trying to create Garmin flightplans.  I can enter positions into a position list, but when I try to export (Positionlist>Export to file)  or save As (Garmin Flightplan *.fpl), I get a popup message saying 'The Feature 'Write Garmin Flightplan" is not available."  I have Online edition 2.17 from 09 Nov 2015 which I just got from the website.

I am running under linux (mint) with gpsbabel from the distribution repository (V1.4.3). In case this is a gpsbabel error, I tried routeconverter options both with path to external GPSBabel blank and also with it pointing to /usr/bin/gpsbabel - restarting routeconverter after changing the setting.  Both gave the same error message.

Any ideas welcome.

On another note, which file should I be running to launch Routeconverter.  I've been running the .jnlp file but that seems to try to re-download and install every time, so that may not be correct.   I don't have a desktop icon or entry in the start menu.

I'm glad RouteConverter is useful to you.

Please try the latest prerelease. It supports writing 10 Garmin Flightplan files before you need to unlock further writes with a donation.

Java should offer to add an entry in the start menu after the second start.

If not, you could start the .jnlp like this:

javaws RouteConverter.jnlp

and get the same effect. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/tec...avaws.html for details
