5.2 DIRECT-TO-NAVIGATION (MFD)
NOTE: The Direct-to Window Inset Map (Figure 5-1) range is adjustable. To change the map range, turn the
Joystick to the left to select a lower range, turn it to the right to select a higher range.
The “direct-to” navigation feature provides a quick method of setting a GPS course to a destination waypoint.
Once a direct-to is activated, the G1000 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 cancelled or replaced by a
new destination.
