LNM Installed and Tutorials are really great,  Getting the hang of it.  Question. I found the way to "Export" Flight Plans to FMS in Xplane 11 but cant seem to find the way to "Import" from FMS .Have set up SID  & STARs with specific R Nav (GPS) using SKY Vector Charts and would like to "Track" thpse flights, approaches, Minimums, etc . Any advice on how to do this?

Thanks

You can simply use "File" -> "Open Flight Plan" to open a X-Plane FMS or other supported flight plan files. LNM detects the format automatically.

Keep in mind that only saving LNMPLN keeps all attributes and remarks. Always save and open LNMPLN and export FMS. From the manual:

Quote

Little Navmap LNMPLN Format

Little Navmap uses its own XML based format since only this allows to save all features provided by the program in a safe manner as well as proper file validation. This also eliminates many of the confusing warning dialogs when saving other formats and potential data loss.

While you can still load, for example, FMS and other formats directly into the program, saving is limited to the LNMPLN format. You have to export the plan as FMS after changing it. You can do that either directly from the menu File -> Export Flight Plan as X-Plane FMS 11 or using menu File -> Multiexport Flight Plan Options and then File -> Multiexport Flight Plan.

See also Flight Plan Multiexport for more information on multiexport.

Note

The LNMPLN format is only understood by Little Navmap. Do not try to load it into simulators or add-ons.

Consider exported flight plan files as disposable since almost all the export formats have limitations resulting in data loss. Remember that you can always restore them by loading the original LNMPLN file and exporting again.

See Little Navmap Flight Plan File Format for a detailed description of the format.

Warning

Always save a copy in the default LNMPLN format before exporting to other formats like FMS. This allows Little Navmap to restore all flight plan properties like procedures, alternate airports and remarks.
