2.7 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION

The Direct-to method of navigation, initiated by pressing the Direct to Key is quicker
to use than a flight plan when the desire is to navigate to a single point such as a
nearby airport.
Once a direct-to is activated, the GPSMAP 695/696 establishes a point-to-point
course line from the present position to the selected direct-to destination. Course
guidance is provided until the direct-to is replaced with a new direct-to or flight plan,
or cancelled.
Entering a waypoint identifier, facility name, or city as a direct-to
destination:
1) Press the Direct-to Key. The Direct-to Window is displayed (with the active
flight plan waypoint as the default selection or a blank waypoint field if no
flight plan is active).
2) Turn the FMS Joystick clockwise to begin entering a waypoint identifier
(turning it counter-clockwise brings up the waypoint selection submenu -
press the CLR Key to remove it), press the RECENT Softkey to display a list
of recent waypoints, or move the FMS Joystick to select the facility name,
or city field.
3) Press the ENT Key.
4) With 'Activate' highlighted, press the ENT Key.
