I'm having the same problem. The issue with the in-game help is that there
are LOTS of instructions on how to operate the GPS' many buttons and access
its many pages, but very little effort put into the 'when and why' you use
it. More 'when and why' are infinitely more accessible for newcomers.

I agree that the info supplied is a bit obscure at times, but part of
the problem is that you (ad me) expect answers where we're looking, and
maybe should think about the whether we're looking in the right place.

This is not a game with it's own purpose and goal. Everything you see is
a simulation (or has an equivalent) in the real world. So, to understand
how to fly a plane you might resort to books and sites about flying a
plane, not books about how to fly a flightsimulator.

If you want to know how (or why) to plan a flight and what roles the
different pieces of equipment play, find some books or sites about
flightplanning and nav-equipment as they are used to get a real plane
from A to B. You cannot expect a (already quite large) manual of a
simulator to cover all aspects of the reality it is simulating.

Try eg. to go to Garmin's site to find a lot of stuff about GPS's; just
an example.

This means you have to start thinking about leaning to fly and to learn
about using the simulator. This is somewhat more complicated maybe, but
it is far more satisfying (to me at least) and the amount of info is far
more extensive than you'd ever get about how to be playing a game.
