FliteStar and GPS upload/download

Hi all,

A quick question to those operating the Jeppesen FliteStar program. I'm currently using the same for most of my VFR flight planning and then download that route to my Garmin 196.

It seems, though, that there is no provision with this program to facilitate an upload/download via a USB connection - which is most unfortunate as this rules out a connection when using my laptop (I can only use my desktop PC via serial).

Maybe I'm being an idiot here but does anybody else have this problem or is it that the program cannot support a connection to GPS via USB.

P.S. I can connect by GPS - USB - laptop for database unpdates etc so this issue seems confined to FliteStar - USB - GPS only!

Regards
Dan
