The GNS480 (and maybe all TSO 146 navigators, I don't know) have the

How is that displayed on the map? Does the map automatically shift the next
leg to "direct to the next waypoint" from the location at which the
altitude is reached? What waypoint is displayed in the climbing leg?

see p. 66(74 of 158) Leg Types

The page number is the Garmin page numbering, and the (nn of 158) is the pdf

This sounds like an incredibly useful feature.

There's a departure procedure at KTEB that's even more complex than this.
From runways 1 and 6, this feature would cover it. But from 19, the
procedure is runway heading until 800, then right to 280. Maintain 1500
until crossing the TEB R-250 & passing TEB 2.5 DME, then climb to 2000.

Note the "TEB R-250 & passing TEB 2.5 DME" "waypoint". Can the 480 handle
this?

Sorry, I don't have time to check on this right now, but maybe you can answer
this question with the information from the references above. I'll try to look
at this later.
