Is it possible to use cities as waypoints in flight plan and how?
The only way I can make a city as a waypoint is by using panning

function on
the map - point to the city and then press "direct to" key.
Or it is some kind of safety feature - not to alloud to use cities as
waypoints?


How about using your user created waypoints by scrolling to the city
and planting one right there? Youd be limited to a 5 charactor
name,e.g., NWYRK or CHCGO or INDY.

why not just use the thousands of GPS waypoints already in place?


Yep, even easier!!
