8A.5 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION
The "Direct-to" function provides a quick method
of setting a course to a destination waypoint. Once a
Direct-to is activated, the G1000 establishes a point-to-
point course line from the present position to the selected
Direct-to destination. If the course change is greater than
30 degrees, a course extension is offset from the present
position to allow a standard rate turn to intercept the
Direct-to course line. Note that the CDI (HSI) needle will
not be immediately centered in this case. Direct-to course
guidance is provided until the Direct-to is cancelled or
replaced by a new destination, and the navugation data is
displayed on the Navigation Map Page
