Victor Airway to Point to Point APP

in General Discussion
I'm wondering if anyone out there is aware of an iPad or other cockpit useable application to convert victor airways to something I can program into my Garmin 530. All too often I get a change in my flight plan from ATC(advise ready to copy) with victor airway routes. I then have to break out the charts and see which fixes make up the airway and then enter them into the GPS.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

    Off the top of my head I cant think of anything. I'm sure eventually something will come out though.

    Do you use fltplan.com?

    They'll show you recent ATC routes & I've enjoyed a pretty high percentage of "Cleared as Filed" using those routes. This is often followed by some helpful "Direct To" amendments. Much better than the "Preferred" or TEC routes in the A/FD.

    It's not something you can use in flight but it can reduce the need.

    I put the airway radial into my secondary NAV. When the needle centers, I hit direct to on my 530 and off you go.

    I already use Fltplan.com. I was sure there was a cell phone app for this.
    Thanks for eveyone's input.

    A little sidebar in the September Issue of IFR Magazine mentions AirwayPlanner.com. Apparently they sell ($49/yr) a .pdf file that has all the V airways and points. It includes all the points but differentiates the ones that need to be entered. They also provide the J airways separately (another $30/yr), if needed. So if you have a gizmo that can handle .pdf files, it's something.
