Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Navigating DIRECT TO Waypoints

Navigating "DIRECT TO" Waypoints
In addition to their use in flightplans, waypoints can be used for navigation by
themselves. As shown earlier, after entering TEB, we pressed the ACTIVATE D>
button, and the Argus drew a courseline to the waypoint. The illustrations and text
explained the usual way of selecting and navigating to a waypoint, after pressing the
DATABASE WPT key in the ACTIVATE DIRECT TO menu. There are two
additional methods, accessed by the other softkeys in the ACTIVATE DIRECT TO
menu:
USER WPT: Instead of entering the waypoint name alphabetically, you can select a
user waypoint by scrolling through the list of those available. While this is obviously
impractical for the database, which contains tens of thousands of waypoints, it is a
shortcut in the case of user waypoints since there are only a limited number. If you
have a large number of user waypoints as well, you can search for them alphabetically
in the same manner as you search for database waypoints, by entering the exact name.
SELECTED OBJECT: If you have selected an object from the map display using SEL
(AUX+DEP), you can fly DIRECT TO this object by hitting this softkey. If you have
not selected an object, it will show "NONE SELECTED." If you have, the name of
the object will be shown below the softkey.
