Another GNS480 related question.

Can I program an approach into the 480 without using a flightplan?

No, Hank, you cannot.
You "could" insert each waypoint of an approach into a flight plan,
but that does not qualify for being an approach by the FAA's =
definitions.
And besides, you wanted to do it without a flight plan.

There's another way to interpret your question, though....
Maybe you really wanted to know about "Direct-To".
You can select an airport for Direct-To, and make it your destination.
Then, you can draw upon the library of approaches for that destination.
However, that's technically a 1-leg flight plan, so it's allowed to have
an Arrival procedure, an Approach procedure, and an Alternate =
destination.
So still, you cannot do it without some kind of a flight plan.
