So in my experience, having a direct-to waypoint and landing somewhere
else must confuse the GPS396 into giving terrain warnings as you come
in to land.

I guess the assumption would be that you're navigating direct to the
airport if you end up there. However, the terrain warnings do not sound
if there is no flight plan, nor do they sound if you are direct-to the
airport, so I'm not sure why they would sound if you're direct-to
somewhere else and just happen to end up at the airport.

What I noticed is that obstacle alerts still DO sound, which is very
nice. For example, my field has close-in surrounding terrain and
obstacles, and since v2.80 I get the obstacle alerts but not the terrain
alerts.
