I misremembered the flight on which I received direct to an intersection.
On that flight, I had filed a combination of airways and direct VOR. At
one point, a controller asked if I could use my VFR GPS to navigate direct
to an intersection, bypassing the VOR I was flying on an airway to.

Do you think I would have been asked to use my VFR GPS to navigate direct
to an intersection if I had not indicated on the flight plan that I was
equipped with a VFR GPS?


My statement was made with regard to filing the flight plan. You don't need
to put "VFR GPS" in remarks when you file if you want a direct route. Just
file direct, ATC will assume you can fly what you file.
