When in Map Panning Mode, pressing
will cause a temporary MAP POINTER waypoint to
be created that allows you to navigate Direct-To the location that you are pointing at with the
map pointer. (Note that this waypoint is not stored as a “user waypoint”. See the following

When in Map Panning Mode, the MENU > ADD POINT TO FPL menu item will allow you to
create a user waypoint and immediately add it to your flight plan.
