lets see.. I would remember the 10 mile restriction in my brain (and on my
note pad) while flying direct to XYZ... then direct to ABC... and then in
VOR (OBS) mode tune and fly the 131 radial outbound from ABC.... I'd also
check the charts to see if DEF is a "direct to" DEF.

This is only from memory as I have not flown often with the Garmin
430-530-1000 systems. But have in the past.

Is there a simple way to program the Garmin to handle in-flight route
instructions such as :

"Pass 10 miles N of XYZ at 10,000 ft" or "Continue inbound to ABC, then
the 131 radial to DEF..."

I can make user waypoints, but it seems a little slow and awkward,
especially in hard IFR. Any tricks?

Thanks,

Michael
