I’m getting the following problem when I transfer my FF flight plan to my IFD440.

As my flight plan has a couple of user waypoints, I first make sure that they are in the IFD WPT list WITH THE EXACT SAME COORDINATES AS IN FF, as to help the system match lat-long with the assigned name (I’m using the HH.MM:SS format). To my surprise, some waypoints are transmitted WRONG, which ends up creating a bunch of annoying FF000N ghost points on my IFD.

I’m quite sure this is a ROUNDING bug (either on the FF or the IFD side), while each side converts from HH.MM:SS to the alternative decimal representation of the coordinate.

Please forward this to the avidyne dev team, and advise if there is a workaround for it.
