It's one of the options along with "enter a holding pattern at that
point". You're prompted for the course.


Is that a universal feature on IFR approach GPS?

You cannot do anything like that on my KLN-90B without suspending waypoint
sequencing. That would seem to me to be a barrier to RNAV vectoring to
final for ATC, since the variability of equipment in this respect cannot
be accounted for.


Can you not use your GPS to navigate to intercept a specified course to a
fix, and track that course, without a line on a moving map? Or without a
CDI? Have you ever flown an NDB approach with an ADF?
