It can also use your Garmin map, I loaded my Garmin 5212 base map onto a SD card so it would be available when planning routes. HomePort supports Active Captain so you can download the database and have all of the markers available while planning your route. GPX is a standard format to transfer routes/waypoints- many programs, apps, and devices support it. I have also transferred routes to/from the Active Captain web site, again using the GPX format. I also use HomePort to export my route to a format that can be imported by iNavX on my iPad. I personally find it much easier to use a PC/Laptop with mouse to create my routes. Once transferred into the Garmin Chartplotter routes are stored internally and you can put your G2 Vision or other map chip back in. I have a separate SD card that I use to transfer between my chartplotter and laptop, I temporarily remove the Garmin G2 Vision card to transfer routes. On your chartplotter this is the same place that you insert a Garmin map, such as a G2 Vision chart. Routes and waypoints are transferred to/from Homeport and your chartplotter using a SD card (or chip). You can use it to create a route or view/edit routes that you have created on your Garmin chartplotter. HomePort runs on a Windows or MAC PC/Laptop.
