Note

See Direct-To Entry Options on page 8 in
the System Functions chapter for details.
When the option is set to “May Clear,” your
active flight plan is deleted when you use
Direct-To for flying to a new destination. If
your new Direct-To waypoint is in the
active flight plan, the flight plan is not
deleted. When the option is set to “Never
Clears,” the Direct-To waypoint is inserted
into your active flight plan before the
current TO waypoint. “May Clear” is the
default setting.
