The idea behind loading a flight plan from say Navbox or Flitestar directly into the GPS is that it avoids human error.

This is the big "missing link" for IFR flight. You HAVE to use a GPS for airways flight, you more or less have to use serious flight planning software to work out the route, the route can comprise of 50 waypoints, yet there is no way to transfer them from the laptop to the GPS.
