When the target pointer is placed on an object, the

name of that object is highlighted (even if the name wasn’t
originally displayed on the map). This feature applies to
airports, NAVAIDs, user-created waypoints, roads, lakes,
rivers, almost everything displayed on the map except
route lines.

When an airport, NAVAID, or user waypoint is selected

on the Map Display, information about the waypoint can
be reviewed or the waypoint can be designated as the
direct-to destination.

Reviewing information for an on-screen
airport, NAVAID, or user waypoint:

1) Use the panning function (as described in

the preceding procedure) to place the target
pointer on a waypoint (Figure 3-11).

2) Press the ENT Key to display the Waypoint

Information Page(s) for the selected waypoint
(Figure 3-12).

Figure 3-12 Information for On-Screen Waypoint

3) Press the CLR Key to exit the information

page(s).

Map Direct-to

Designating an on-screen airport,
NAVAID, or user waypoint as the direct-to
destination:

1) Use the panning function (‘Map Panning’ in

this section) to place the target pointer on a
waypoint.

2) Press the Direct-to Key to display the select

Direct-to Waypoint Page, with the selected
waypoint already listed (Figure 3-13).

Figure 3-13 +MAP Waypoint

3) Press the ENT Key twice to confirm the selection

and begin navigating to the waypoint.

The direct-to function can be used anywhere on the

map. If nothing currently exists at the target position, a
new waypoint called ‘+MAP’ (Figure 3-13) is created at
the target pointer location before the direct-to is initiated.
