Basic Operation
DIRECT-TO USING THE
JOYSTICK POINTER
1. While on the Map Display,
use the Joystick Pointer to
select the desired destination
as in Figure 1-98. The pointer
can be placed anywhere on the
map, not just used to select
database items.
2. Press the Direct-To Key
and the identifier for the
selected destination will be
entered into the DIRECT TO
field as shown in Figure 1-99.
If the Joystick Pointer is placed
on something other than a
database item, the next avail-
able default User Waypoint
name will appear in the
DIRECT TO field. This way-
point will be placed on the map
at the position of the Joystick
Pointer. To change the way-
point name, see the discussion
on User Waypoints earlier in
this section.
3. Press the ACTIVATE
Softkey and the route will be
displayed on the Map as
shown in Figure 1-100.
OBS COURSE MODE
The Direct-To function also allows an OBS course to be navigated to the
selected destination. OBS Course Mode can be used independently to a
waypoint, or in conjunction with an active flight plan. See Using OBS
Course Mode Within A Flight Plan later in this section.
OBS Course Mode allows the selection of a course based on a bearing
“to” or “from” a waypoint much like a VOR receiver.
