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 destination 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 press-
ing 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.
To select an on-screen waypoint (other than the
map page) as a direct-to destination:
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.

ning pointer.
