That, plus I need to look down to "knob" through the entire flight plan.
The cursor doesn't start on the current waypoint, so I cannot just turn
the knob once w/o looking.

The GNSx30 points to the way point you just passed, so if you think
you have to go through the entire flight plan I suggest you learn how
to use the GNS before you criticize it.

I know of one that didn't do so yesterday, at least using the process I
followed/described. But you might want to read what I actually wrote. If
you did so, you'd note that I thought that there was a better way to do
this that I'd learned and since forgotten.

Thus, I wasn't criticising it but asking for the better process.

Anyway...perhaps this is a software version issue. I originally learned on
a newly installed unit, while the one I was using yesterday was installed
at some time further in the past (I don't know precisely when; it predates
my club membership).

Does Garmin provide software upgrades separate from the navigation data
updates?
