It is an IFR installation.
Is a 337 required?
I am not an Avionics mechanic, so don't beat up on me.

But, you should be talking with one. Without an experienced Avionics
technician making the installation, it likely won't become an IFR
installation. The paperwork is a moving target, but is a lot easier today
than a few years ago. Whether it involves a 377 is academic becuase, if it
does, the competent shop will take care of that in course.

I have a certified Avionics shop do the install

On the 430/530, I think you (a) display the flight plan, (b) turn on
the cursor (3) scroll down to the waypoint and (4) press "clear"

(The 480 might be totally different.)

XPND
Use the large knob to select a waypoint.

If you don't select XPND, you'll get prompted to delete all the waypoints
of a leg, if appropriate.

If you've set up your flight plan with airways, rather than point to point,
you may have to delete the same waypoint a few times. Try it on the
simulator at home, first.

Greetings,
Don't forget to save your changes.

You must press EXEC after any change to the flight plan or the 480 will
not recognize that change.

Very frustrating to find yourself still going to the deleted waypoint,
but you can't see it.

So....

XPND
Turn the Big Knob to select the waypoint

True and a good warning.

Indeed, this is one of the most frequent mistakes I make with the CNX-80.

All- There's a GNS480 users group mailing list I've set up at Yahoo Groups. Sign up at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gns480-users/

We have quite a few current and prospective owners contributing.
