5.6 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION
The Direct-to method of navigation, initiated by pressing the Direct-to Key is
quicker to use than a flight plan when the desire is to navigate to a single point
such as a nearby airport.
Once a direct-to is activated, the G300 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.
Entering a waypoint identifier, facility name, or city as a
direct-to destination:
1)
Press the Direct-to Key. The Direct-to Window is displayed (with the
active flight plan waypoint as the default selection or a blank waypoint
field if no flight plan is active).
2)
Turn the FMS Joystick clockwise to begin entering a waypoint identifier
(turning it counter-clockwise brings up the waypoint selection submenu
- press the CLR Key or the FMS Joystick to remove it), press the
RECENT Softkey to display a list of recent waypoints, or move the FMS
Joystick to select the facility name, or city field.
3)
Press the ENT Key.
4)
With ‘Activate’ highlighted, press the ENT Key.
