A direct-to can be performed from any page displaying a single waypoint identifier (such as the waypoint pages for airports and NAVAIDS) by simply pressing the Direct-to Key and the ENT Key. For pages that display a list of waypoints (e.g., the Nearest Airport Page), the desired waypoint must be highlighted with the cursor before pressing the Direct-to Key.
