Just skipping the unwanted points in between. Richard

That replaces the route up to that point with a direct leg, but leaves the rest of the route intact.

If it is just a random point with only a Lat/Long, then it doesn't seem to work- something I wasn't aware of. Edit - if you call up the PLOG and touch the relevant waypoint, the 'Take Shortcut' option will be offered. I think the issue with Lat/Long only waypoints is trying to hit the exact spot with your finger tip. I'm using an iPad, by the way. Edited 3/5/2021 3:34:52 PM by grahamb

R Group: Forum Members Posts: 27, Visits: 20	Graham, You are right, this one worked. Nevertheless, it is one of these functions that after a while, when You need it in flight, You are puzzled again how to do it. I prefer intuitive ways, the most logical. I use a Samsung tab 6 with an on board SIM card, very clear screen. Have it on a home made knee board, so not in bright sunlight.
