DIRECT TO MODE
Using the GOTO button will allow the input of a
DIRECT TO location. Use the UP / DOWN cursor keys
to change the character on the blinking field. Use
the LEFT / RIGHT cursor key to move to the next or
previous field. Enter an ICAO identifier for airport,
VOR or NDB.
NOTE: Intersections are not supported in the GOTO mode.
Once an identifier is recognized, it will show facility
name and nearby city – if possible. Press ENTER and
the GPS will return to the Map mode with the flight
plan leg from the current aircraft position to the
selected identifier. As everywhere using the QUIT
button will halt the action and return to the MAP
screen.
CURSOR MODE
Another option to make a DIRECT-TO flight plan, is with the help of the “Cursor Mode”. When the GPS is in
map mode, pressing either the UP / DOWN / LEFT or RIGHT cursor key, will put the GPS into “Cursor mode”. A
small cursor (blinking circle) will appear instead of the aircraft symbol. Using the cursor keys the circle can be
moved on the map and the map will centre on the cursor position. A line will be drawn from the current
aircraft position to the cursor.
Press ENTER to select the cursor position as a
Direct-To flight plan. If the ENTER button is not
pressed within a few seconds or by pressing QUIT,
cursor mode will be suspended and the GPS will
return to Map mode. By using the cursor mode any
global position can be selected as a waypoint. This
is the easiest way to make a very simple flight plan,
certainly if the desired waypoint isn´t too far away.
In cursor mode finer adjustments can be made by
zooming in on the map first.
