How can I enter a user waypoint in the form of radial and distance? For
example: 10 NM from XYZ(VOR) on the 265 radial. Sure, I can use the
rubber-band feature and drag a waypoint to that approximate position but
I'm looking for something a little more positive. In DUATS you identify
it on the route list as XYZ010R265, or something like that.


Casey,

Have you looked at the Golden Eagle/Cirrus software at all?

You can make custom waypoints and it has a "measuring tape" function that
will show you distance and degrees true from one point to another. This
would let you find your point 10nm on the 265 radial and drop a point there
that you can then name.
