OK, dumb question here:

If I want to fly the t-routes (tango airways, AKA RNAV routes) depicted on the enroute low charts, how do I GeoFill those? I find jet and victor airways (J & V), but no RNAV (Q & T, respectively for high & low).

Am I missing something?

Clarification:
Simulator: KLMT -> MUREX ->(T261 should be available, but isn't) I have to go to the airport to check.

A very small portion of T259 shows up in the sim, terminating at KSJC.

Is the database up to date?

It does work in the real IFD, just the same as Victor or Jet airways.

Can you update the database? I tried just now using my the files for my IFD540. It had an error loading the navdata and skipped the obstacle database.

I don't think there is a way to update the PC simulator, only the iThingy one.

Bummer about the simulator.

I ran out to the hangar and confirmed that all of the T-routes are in the actual instrument database. Planned out KLMT -> KSBA almost entirely on T-routes. 500nm.

Thanks Orest!

T-route availability is also easy to confirm in the IFD100 from home:)
