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.


I tried asking the AOPA people at the last open house if you could put
in a route ... BAL V50 DCA V40 FDK etc etc whatever, and they said no,
the only way you could put in a route was the beginning and end, and
then via the rubber band method. It would be useful to be able to do
that to decipher some of the routings I see on this NG. You probably
can't do the above for the same reason they can't support what I
wanted it to do.
