Commencing a GPS approach from a fix other than the FAF

I think this is the problem. I'd expect MOVER to be the first fix once
the approach is loaded and I expand the approach in the flight plan
view. I could then go Direct-to EWTOF quite easily and still be in
proper sequence. However, the first fix is UBBEP. I replicated this
behavior on the 480 sim, as well.

How do I load the approach such that at least all of the fixes from the
IAF (in this case MOVER) are there and ready to go? I can't seem to
find a way to make this happen. I'd like it to either magically be
there when the approach is loaded or at least allow me to select the
applicable transition. No dice.

Thanks,

Is it with the 480?

It works much the same on the 480. You have to put in the approach transition from the applicable IAF,
MOVER in this case, Execute it, and then do a Direct-to EWTOF as a separate action. The only
problem, mentally, is that you have to look on the chart to find the applicable transition that contains the
waypoint you're looking for, rather than being able to select it directly on the approach menu.
