Garmin GNS 430 - cities in a flight plan?!
Is it possible to use cities as waypoints in flight plan and how?
The only way I can make a city as a waypoint is by using panning function on the map - point to the city and then press "direct to" key. Or it is some kind of safety feature - not to alloud to use cities as waypoints?

Cities are pretty big. Waypoints need to be pretty small. If I'm over Fort Lee and press "Direct NYC" what direction would you expect me to be led? Jose -- The monkey turns the crank and thinks he's making the music. for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

Youd be limited to a 5 charactor name,e.g., NWYRK or CHCGO or INDY.
