With either IFD, What would be the quickest,easiest way to change your current routing to proceed direct to the nearest airport?
Sorry if already asked and answered. |

Hit the nearest button, select the airport you want from the list and hit "direct to"

There still is a nearest (NRST) tab in the FMS groups of tabs, just no bezel key for it.
To access it, hit the FMS button, and click to the right most tab.
Page 2-36 of the PG. * Orest Edited by oskrypuch - 09 Apr 2016 at 11:12am |

Gary,
If you look on page 2-36 of your pilot guide you will see that on the FMS page there is a NRST tab which you can use to find the nearest airports VOR's etc, just keep pushing the tab until it cycles to airports. Almost as fast as a dedicated button. Jack |

Thanks Jack.
From the MAP tab hit FMS,scroll to NEAREST, Tap the NEAREST BUTTON to scroll thru to the nearest airport,Then Highlight the nearest Airport,hit Direct,ent,ent. I'm really liking the radios, but this seems like a pretty big flaw. Tough to do in an emergency situation. |

Don't forget the BT keyboard DOES have a dedicated NRST button. Also, it does work with the current firmware.
