When using the "Direct to" function on the iPad it is only possible to select airfields. It would be great if it would be possible to select IFR waypoint (and possibly VFR reporting points), which are in the vicinity of the planned route.

I figured out a way to fly direct to a Waypoint, but it is rather cumbersome.

I don't fly IFR myself, but friends of mine do. I try to convince them to use skydemon instead of Pocket fms (which supports direct to IFR waypoints).

For those who would like to know how to fly direct to IFR waypoints (on a iPad):

  1. To show the Airways reporting points, click on "Map Layers" (Before you click "Go Flying").
  2. At the bottom of the page you can select "Airways Reporting Points" (slide it to "on"). If you zoom in on the chart, you'll find the waypoints.
  3. When flying (you click "Go Flying"), click on the Skydemon logo (upper left)
  4. Go to "chart"
  5. Go to "Find Waypoint..."
  6. Type the name of the waypoint and click on it. The map will now move to this waypoint and a yellow circle will show.
  7. Hold your finger down on the waypoint and click on the full name of the waypoint
  8. Then select "Route direct"
Unfortunately the original route will now disappear.
