GNS 430 -- How Do You ...
One way is to go to the 4th page on the NAV section. At the bottom of that
displayed page are three fields. The first is a field that is user
selectable to APT, INT, NDB, VOR, USR, WPT. I usually keep that on VOR. It
is an easy way to give a position report, and the controllers usually like
to know where you are from a VOR. The other two fields are the bearing from
and distance.

With the GX-60 in my Bonanza, I can look at any waypoint in the database
(eg VOR, NDB, intersection, airport, etc.) and press the "INFO" button. I
can then get distance and direction to that waypoint without doing a "go
to" and without disturbing my current route.
I flew a trip today in another Bonanza (KORL - MYAM - KFPR - KORL), my
first experience with a 430. I can find any waypoint I need via the "WPT"
pages, but I cannot find any way to display distance and direction to that
waypoint (other than "go to" which is not helpful if I don't want to go
there).
I have done a thorough RTFM and if the information I'm looking for is in
the 192 page manual, I have missed it.
Can anyone help me with this?
