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.
