A direct-to may also be performed from any

(the nearest airport page in this example) by
simply pressing the D key, followed by ENTER.
Entering a direct-to destination.
The GPS 165 uses direct point-to-point navigation to guide you from takeoff to
touchdown in the IFR environment. Once a destination is selected, the unit will pro-
vide speed, course and distance data based upon a direct course from your present
position to your destination. A destination can be selected from any page with the
DIRECT-TO (
D
) key.
To select a direct-to destination:
1. Press the
D
key. The CDI page will appear with the destination field flashing.
2. Rotate the
K
knob to enter the first letter of the destination waypoint identifier. The des-
tination waypoint may be an airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or user waypoint, as long as it
is in the database or stored in memory as a user waypoint.
3. Rotate the
O
knob to the right to move the cursor to the next character position.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to spell out the rest of the waypoint identifier.
5. Press
E
to confirm the identifier. The waypoint confirmation page will appear.
6. Press
E
to confirm the destination.
Once the direct-to destination is confirmed, the CDI page will appear with the
destination indicated in the lower left hand corner of the screen. As well as displaying
the current destination waypoint, the CDI page displays your present speed and track
over the ground, and the distance and estimated time enroute to your destination. The
graphical CDI, located at the top left of the screen, displays your position relative to
the desired course and provides turn anticipation and waypoint messages during route
and approach navigation.
