OK I see what you mean. It's giving the track of the flight planned =

period. =20

But this leads me to another area that I've started to look for. Is =
it
possible to constantly monitor the bearing to a way point, other than =
the
waypoint to which you are navigating? An example might be a request =
to
report crossing a specified bearing to an NDB, while navigating to =

If the waypoint of interest is within range of your "NRST" twenty,
the CNX80 will give you a dynamic display of direction and distance
to it when you select the appropriate type of "NRST" waypoint.

For a waypoint outside of the nearest twenty of each type, you'll need =
to
retrieve your waypoint of interest from the DataBase.
When you have it, pressing INFO will give you dynamic direction and =
distance.
If the waypoint is an airport, you'll find direction and distance under =
"POS".

If you select an inappropriate type of waypoint, (ARTCC or FSS),
you'll get distance, but only a relative bearing instead of direction.
Oddly enough, you DO get direction and distance to special airspace.
It appears to measure to the closest point of that airspace.
