System Overview Flight Instruments EIS CNS Interface GPS Navigation GPS Navigation 5.6 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION USING THE G3X NOTE: The G3X Direct-to Key is disabled while using an external GPS navigator. Press the INTERNAL Softkey on the Direct-to Page to make changes to the active flight plan from the G3X. Press the EXTERNAL Softkey to return to the external GPS navigator's flight plan. 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 G3X 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) If an external navigator is configured, press the INTERNAL Softkey. 3) 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. 4) Press the ENT Key. 5) With 'Activate' highlighted, press the ENT Key.
