Direct-To Navigation
The 400W-series unit 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.
