That won't work with the GNS400/500 series.



Direct-To with any type of fix will put a magenta route line on the
map (and potentially other instruments that pull information from the
GPS).


That is not the point. Direct-to on a GNS400/500 will not yield the
unpublished extension of the final approach course unless you happen to
be in the correct position when you activate direct-to. Sure, you will
have a magenta line but it probably won't have a magnetic course of 002,
as per the example IAP.
