5.4 DIRECT-TO-NAVIGATION (MFD)
The “direct-to” navigation feature provides a quick method of setting a GPS course to a destination waypoint.
Once a direct-to is activated, the G1000 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 cancelled or replaced by a new
destination.

NOTE:
The Direct-to Window Inset Map (Figure 5-25) range is adjustable. To change the map range, turn the
joystick to the left to select a lower range, turn it to the right to select a higher range.
NOTE:
A vertical navigation direct-to (when part of a flight plan) creates a descent path (and provides
guidance to stay on the path) from the aircraft’s current altitude to the altitude of the direct-to waypoint. All
altitude constraints prior to the direct-to waypoint are removed from the active flight plan upon successful
activation of the vertical direct-to. All altitude constraints following the vertical direct-to waypoint are
retained. See the section on Vertical Navigation for more information regarding the use and purpose of
altitude constraints and offset distances.
