The pilot can go to OBS mode and select FRZZN as the active waypoint,
then select bearing 002 mag to FRZZN.



You don't have to use OBS mode, at least on the GNS430. Use DIRECT TO,
then set the course. This way draws a line on the map, OBS doesn't.



That won't work with the GNS400/500 series. Doing it the way I describe
will provide a course line. I don't have a clue about the 480. ;-)

Works on my 430s, and works on the 430 simulator/trainer. But on the sim, I
also got the magenta line using OBS mode, didn't think I could. Don't
remember what caused me to believe that.
