The direct-to function provides a quick method of 
setting a course to a waypoint. Once a direct-to is acti-
vated, the unit will establish a point-to-point course 
line (geodesic path) from your present position to 
the selected direct-to waypoint. The unit will provide 
navigation guidance to the selected direct-to waypoint 
until the direct-to is manually cancelled or replaced by 
a new active leg or direct-to.
