So I skip to the next waypoint with "direct", "direct", "enter"? And this
will give me the DTK etc. from my current position to that waypoint?

Perfect! Thanks for knowing this little box so well...

No. You only use "direct direct enter" if you want to go to the next
way point on the leg described in the flight plan. When the controller
clears you "direct to xxx" you want to select xxx and then press
"direct enter enter".

Hmm...I'm not sure how what you've written is different from what I've
written.

Let's assume that the flight plan currently in the GPS is SBJ LANNA BOPLY
ETX ABE. The active waypoint - that to which we're currently flying - is
SBJ. ATC clears me direct to LANNA.

Would "direct" "direct" "enter" change the waypoint to LANNA? Or would it
leave it as SBJ? Or would it do something different?
