It would be nice to have victor airways in the box....

All the necessary components of Victor airways are in the box. What you
want, I presume, is an airway database. I guess you have to go to a
G-1000 to get that.;-)

Airways from a GPS: That's like buying a $1000 stereo and listening to
monaural AM radio. :~(

Maybe where you're flying. In the northeast (and even entering the
northeast, pretty much from PA east from what I've seen) clearances
aren't "direct", they're KLOU IIU J78 PSB J49 ALB GDM LOBBY KBED. I'd
rather just be able to dial that into the box. Heck, even going from
BED to PWM (Hanscom to Portland, ME - 83NM leg whos only airspace
issue is the 3000' and 4000' shelf of the Boston bravo ) always gets
clearned via the PSM and ENE VORs.

I guess all I'm essentially asking is, "Can't you just do airways on the
VOR?" like they always did?
