Or you can call up the nearest airport list and go direct to one of them,
then you don't have to mess with creating a flight plan.

I tried something with my Garmin 430 yesterday that worked out well so I
thought I would pass it along.

I was doing a series of practice approaches to the area airports that are
10
miles or so apart. The problem was setting up for the next approach while
climbing out from the last. With only a few miles, it was easy to over
run the
IAF during setup.

So I put all the airports in a flight plan before takeoff (doesn't matter
the
order). Then at any time you can call up the flight plan and with the
curser
select any of the airports and do a "direct to". Then select the approach
and
you are finished. After the first approach select the flight plan again,
curser to the next airport, "direct to",etc. Sure faster that entering
the
next airport identifier one character at a time.
