User Orbit and Remote Upload...

Check p2-13 of the pilot guide for instructions ... It appears the answer to your hold question is yes.

Steve, what's the word on compatibility with the Aspen "Connected Panel" for first release?  I am counting on this functionality.

The pilot's guide says holds can be created from user waypoints, but not radial crossings (because it needs a lat long position).  A user waypoint can be created using radial crossings (rad/rad).  My questions is, If I'd like to hold at a radial crossing such as the one in the VOR-B at WJF, can I create a rad/rad waypoint then create a hold from that waypoint or will that user waypoint not work because it's not associated with a lat long?  Does the IFD create the lat/long in the background for rad/rad waypoints?  If I can create the waypoint then the hold, why couldn't I create a hold from rad/rad letting the IFD figure out the lat long?  Is this a feature not in the initial release or something not planned on being implemented?

Do you plan on allowing holds directly from rad/rad in future releases having the IFD connect the dots behind the scenes?

Perhaps my question doesn't make sense and I don't realize it because I'm not in front of the unit.  I was thinking that you can't currently create a hold using rad/rad, but instead there is a workaround where you can create user waypoint from rad/rad, add that new waypoint to the flight plan, then create a hold from that waypoint.  I was wondering if creating a hold directly from rad/rad was a future release candidate so we wouldn't have to do the work around.  One way to create a hold is to select a waypoint in the flight plan then add a hold - this method would require creating the waypoint and adding it to the flight plan so it is the same action as the work around.  However, the manual says you can insert a hold flight plan leg (last paragraph of creating a holding pattern).  The manual doesn't state what happens after you insert a hold flight plan leg, but I assume you have to establish a location to hold from.  It would be nice to be able to select rad/rad and create the hold directly from that menu instead of using the work around.  It wouldn't create a new capability, but it would add an additional way to create a hold that would follow intuitively what I'm trying to do - insert a hold in the flight plan at the intersection of two radials.

I will add the hold feature request to the future candidate list but either I don't really understand the request or it's not something would likely fight its way into a future release when compared to all other contenders.
