Can you clarify which systems you want iNavX on your iPad to export routes to over WiFi (but no internet)? Other than NMEA data I do not know a standardized way of accomplishing that. The next version of iNavX does add the ability to send NMEA data to the NMEA server (i.e. a WiFi multiplexer or it could be a PC or a Mac).
Today, if iNavX receives a route or waypoint over WiFi (TCP/IP) NMEA it imports it. For example if you had routes or waypoints on a Garmin chart plotter they could be transferred (assuming the Garmin is interfaced to WiFi).
Soon, MacENC will transfer the active route (already does the waypoint) over WiFi (TCP/IP) NMEA to iNavX.
I agree WiFi connectivity is the way to go and how iPad is envisioned to be used. iNavX was designed so there is no dependence on having a PC or Mac aboard. Yet will optionally connect to NMEA data over WiFI which can be provided by a Mac or a PC or several other stand alone WiFi devices.
As usual iNavX will continued to be improved.
