Direct-to Shortcuts

Shortcuts

Shortcuts are available when using the direct-to
key, allowing you to bypass the use of the small and
large right knobs to enter the waypoint' s identifier. A
direct-to can be performed from any page displaying
a single waypoint identifier (such as the WPT pages
for airports and navaids) by simply pressing direct-to
and ENT. For pages that display a list of waypoints
(e.g., the Nearest Airport Page), you must highlight the
desired waypoint with the cursor before pressing the
direct-to key.
When a single waypoint is displayed on-
screen, select it as your direct-to waypoint
by pressing direct-to. When a list of way-
points is displayed, press the small right
knob to display a cursor, highlight the
desired waypoint, then press direct-to.
To select an on-screen waypoint as a direct-to
waypoint:
1. If a single airport, navaid or user waypoint is
displayed on-screen, press direct-to, then press
ENT twice.
2. If a list of waypoints is displayed on-screen, press
the small right knob to activate the cursor, turn
the large right knob to highlight the desired
waypoint, then press direct-to followed by
ENT twice.

Direct-to waypoints may also be selected from
the Map Page by panning to the desired location and
pressing direct-to and ENT (twice). If no airport,
navaid or user waypoint exists at the desired location,
a waypoint named "+MAP" is automatically created at
the location of the panning pointer.
To select a direct-to waypoint from the map page:
1. From the Map Page, press the small right
knob to display a panning pointer.
Turn the small and large right knobs to place
2.
the panning pointer at the desired location.
Use the panning pointer to select your way-
point directly from the map.
3. If the panning pointer is placed on an existing
airport, navaid or user waypoint, the waypoint
name is highlighted. Press direct-to and ENT
twice to navigate to the waypoint.
4. If the panning pointer is placed on an open
location, press direct-to and ENT twice to
create a "+MAP" waypoint and navigate to
it.
