2.6 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION
The Direct-to method of navigation, initiated by pressing the Direct To Icon is
quicker to use than a flight plan when the desire is to navigate to a single point such
as a nearby airport.
The Direct To Icon is available from the 'Home' Screen, or 'touch and hold' the
Menu/ Icon when available.
Once a direct-to is activated, the aera establishes a point-to-point course line from
the present position to the selected direct-to destination. Course guidance is provided
until the direct-to is replaced with a new direct-to or flight plan, or cancelled.
