That is exactly how the Garmin plotters on my boats work, the Garmin software is called Homeport, and cost something like $20. Set up routes on the pc, copy to an SD card, and put the SD card into the plotter. You can also uploadActive Captain to the plotter the same way, and this makes the crowd sourced info on hazards, marinas, fuel prices, etc come up on the plotter display.
