If I use the map to select a VRP or a Navaid I get the option of 'Route Direct'.  If I press on a random part of the map, the lat/long comes up and I only get the option of 'Append to Route'.  Why don't I also get the option of 'Route Direct'?  This would seem like an easy fix. 

On a separate issue, when I select 'Flight' and then 'Direct To...' why am I limited to only typing in airport names?  Why can't I type in a Navaid or VRP here?

Thanks.

The scenario is that you have to divert (maybe due to low cloud), and you're not sure what route to take so your first immediate action is to take up a leg to a safe point that avoids airspace and terrain.  While navigating to that point you can then work out the next steps and add to that first 'direct to' route.

On the second point, I'm not suggesting changing what you see when you select the 'direct to' page.  Seeing a list of nearest airfields with their runway lengths is perfect.  All I'm suggesting is that if you type in a navaid, say 'sam' or 'cpt' in the text box at the top, the navaid appears with a 'direct to' button.
