If only one waypoint has been entered the bearing will be from
the present position to the destination waypoint.

When operating the AP25 in NAV mode to steer through a route
of waypoints, the AP25 will steer to the first waypoint in the
route after you accept the first waypoint as the location to steer
towards. When you arrive at the waypoint, the AP25 will output
an audible warning, display an alert screen with the new course
information, and automatically change course onto the new leg.
