DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION
The GNS 530 can use direct point-to-point navigation to guide you from takeoff to
touchdown, even in the IFR environment. Once a destination is selected, the unit will
provide speed, course and distance data based upon a direct course from your
present position to your destination. A destination can be selected from any page with
the direct-to-key (8).
To select a direct-to destination:
1. Press the direct-to-key. The select direct-to waypoint page will appear
with the destination field highlighted.
2. Rotate the small right knob (12) to enter the first letter of the
destination waypoint identifier. The destination waypoint may be an
airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or user waypoint, as long as it is in
the database or stored in memory as a user waypoint.
3. Rotate the large right knob (13) to the right to move the cursor to the
next character position.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to spell out the rest of the waypoint identifier.
5. Press ENT to confirm the identifier. The 'Activate?' function field will
be highlighted.
6. Press ENT to activate a direct-to course to the selected destination.
