DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION SHORTCUTS
A direct-to can be performed from any page displaying a single waypoint identifier (such as the waypoint
pages for airports and NAVAIDS) by simply pressing the Direct-to Key and the ENT Key. For pages that
display a list of waypoints (e.g., the Nearest Airport Page), the desired waypoint must be highlighted with the
cursor before pressing the Direct-to Key.
Direct-to destinations may also be selected from the Navigation Map Page by panning to the desired destination
location, pressing the Direct-to Key, and then the
ENT Key twice. If no airport, NAVAID or user waypoint
exists at the desired location, a temporary waypoint named ‘MAPWPT’ is automatically created at the location
of the map pointer.
