Then hit DIRECT TO and you are LNAVing where you need to go.
I am a little disturbed by your post though, if you had GPS on board why are you commenting about not being able to receive the VOR that far out? The VOR is a waypoint in the database, you do not need to recieve the radio signal to navigate with it.
If you were in 699RK you were filed /G, so that is why you were issued an "RNAV" type waypoint. If you are going to file /G, you should know how to use the RNAV function of your box.
Be careful out there man.
Thanks for the tips. I've been tooling around with the program and this works great. I'm sure if you're going to file /G you should know everything there is about the unit indeed. How many people ever do? I trained with a 430/430 stack and have flown IFR out of here many times and I've never been given anything like that before. Never instructed by anyone about it before. I guess its one of those things you just have to "findout" about somewhere done the road earning that experience.
