That's what I do, but it's really annoying when they give you a
crossing restriction on a fix that isn't a turnpoint in an airway so
now you have to go fishing to find it rather than the entire set of
waypoints constituting an airway being in the plan automatically like
the higher-end FMS.

What happens if you're needing to leave or join the airway midway,
such as at an intersection bend?

If you were to program the airway as a waypoint, wouldn't the unit
expect you to fly it from beginning to end?

In the King GPS I had you put two way points and the airway. You could
enter and exit the airway at any waypoint. However, because the GPS
had airways it was smart enough to make all the airway turns and not
just go direct from the first way point to the last (which may have a
mountain in the middle).

Well, Cessna has announced the bug fix/feature list for the latest
G1000 software. It does include airways in the flight plan.

7/23/07 - SB 07-34-02A

Fixes the departure/arrival not overwriting waypoints properly bug
Fixes the 400 storm cell issue with the GDL69A. Also enhances pilots
interface (whatever that means)
Adds inset map into the reversionary mode
Audible alert for user selected BARO minimums
Allows transponder code entry via FMS knob
Adds RX and SQ indicators to the TX indicator for VHF comms
Allows user-selectable lookahead time for track vector
Adds victor airways to flight plan capability
Changes to TAWS system to reduce nuisance alerts, and adds an inhibit
key
Changes splash screen on the MFD to show database status differently
Auto-acknowledge Aural Alert (Configuration changes to ensure aural
alerts are provided at system startup, whatever that means)
Adds support for JeppView
Adds support for Garmin SafeTaxi and FliteChart
Allows XM channel to be dialled in directly
Adds current track bug on HSI
Adds wind component breakout window
Adds VNAV guidance
Adds bug for DH/MDA
Auto-disables TIS on the ground to prevent nuisance alerts, adds "TIS
UNAVAILABLE" mute key
Enhances highlighting of waypoints underlying depicted TFRs
Adds support for ADF Superflag when ADF Superflag signal is sensed

Oh ... I hate it when they add bugs ;-\
