DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION
Selecting a Direct-to destination from the Map
Page
Direct-to destinations may also be selected from the
Map Page. If no airport, NAVAID, or user waypoint
exists at the desired location, a waypoint named ‘+MAP’
is automatically created at the location of the panning
pointer.
Selecting a direct-to destination from the
Map Page:
1) From the Map Page, press the small
right
knob
to display a panning pointer.
2) Turn the small and large
right
knobs to place
the panning pointer at the desired destination
location.
3) If the panning pointer is placed on an existing
airport, NAVAID, or user waypoint, the
waypoint name is highlighted (Figure 3-11).
Press the
Direct-to
Key and the

Key twice
to navigate to the waypoint.
