Mine was installed today; I'll report on how it works this weekend.

OK, I couldn't wait, so on the way to work this morning I went and fired up
the G1000 on the ramp.

The airways flightplan feature worked fine once I figured out that there was
an error in the new Garmin Cockpit Reference Guide. It mentions a "Load
Airways" softkey that never appears, and fails to mention that you have to
press the MENU hardkey at some point to get the "Load Airways" option. Don't
they user-test these manuals?

Short story: you put in the entry fix, airway id and exit point (from a menu)
and you're done. The airway id.exit fix is then in your flight plan. The
airway is in white, with its number, on the course line on the moving map.
