I have been using HomePort for years and find that it is a great route planning tool. It is much easier to use my PC or Laptop to plan a route. Copy your route to a SD card and load into your plotter. I also export my routes in .GPX format to use in the iNavX iPad app. The Active Captain website can also import/export GPX route files, if you copy or create a route on the Active Captain web site export as GPX then import into HomePort. You can then transfer to a SD card for your chart plotter.
