Why no option to route direct to a random point on map?

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.

On the AV80R I used to fly with a lot and also in some way the GNS430 (nearest AD's. Navaids waypoints etc..) give you the option Direct To--> Airport or (VRP)waypoint or navaid..etc..As such you still can select what you want. Only having the aerodromes is important but not everything..
