David - I agree with your conclusion, that there is no way to get GPS routes 
from
an iPad to a Garmin handheld.

There may be another possibility for you. My setup (not yet tested in flight!)
is also a TruTrak wing leveller, driven from a Garmin GPSmap 296. I run the 
SkyDemon
app on my Mac Mini with an M1 chip, which allows me to install and run
(some) iPad apps. I can plan a route on the Mac and export a GPS file (.GPX) 
from
SkyDemon, and then transfer it to the 296 using the LoadMyTracks app and a
USB-serial adaptor. If youre not a Mac person, I understand that there is a 
SkyDemon
app for Windows but know nothing about it.

in friendship
