WARNING: Navgps is not authorized or certified to be used as primary navigation device.
You can now specify a runway-threshold as a waypoint in any flight-plan - this means that you can fully depict the surface navigation for most instrument approach plates. This greatly increases situational awareness during the critical stages of an approach.
To specify a runway threshold in a flight-plan or Direct-to dialog, the syntax is airport identifer, followed by ".R" and then the runway identifier. Examples are, KCDW.R3, CDW.R21L etc.
Create a flight-plan containing the waypoints of the approach and then save it. So that you can find it easily, the format of the name is suggested be the airport identifier followed by the approach name.
Take for example, CDW Localizer 22 approach. You would go to Plan>>Enter menu option and enter "SNAFU KOLLI CDW.R22" and then save it as "CDW LOC22".
Now fly your normal enroute segment and then as you get close to your destination and ATC has told you which approach to expect, load the appropriate flight-plan. Navgps will vector you to the first waypoint the the plan.
For approaches with multiple initial-approach-fixes (IAF), create multiple flight-plans with the same file-name format and suffix the IAF identifier. For example, "CDW LOC22 SAX" etc.
Note this feature may not be available for all runways.
