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.

Does it populate every fix along the airway from ABC to XYZ?
