Programming in the intermediate intersections is probably a good idea,
since it makes it easier to keep track of where you are. Five miles
from HOZAT intersection is a little more meaningful than 87 miles from
some VOR.

BTW, it's questions like this that make me really love the CNX-80 I fly
with. You don't have to put in the intermediate fixes. You just tell
it what airway you're on, and it digs all the fixes out of the database
for you.







Gosh Roy, what a neat feature. I wonder if the Northstar M2 loran, M60 gps,
M600 gps, M3 gps had that feature on the RTE function back in 1996?
