Direct-To Navigation Using The G3X - Garmin G3X Pilot's Manual

5.6 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION USING THE G3X

NOTE: The G3X Direct-to Key is disabled while using an external GPS naviga-
tor. Press the INTERNAL Softkey on the Direct-to Page to make changes to
the active flight plan from the G3X. Press the EXTERNAL Softkey to return
to the external GPS navigator's flight plan.
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 G3X 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) If an external navigator is configured, press the INTERNAL Softkey.
3) 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 or the FMS Joystick 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.
4) Press the ENT Key.
5) With 'Activate' highlighted, press the ENT Key.
