Keyboard input into default GPS

[macca22au]

I am sure that it is detailed in the Learning Centre somewhere but I can't find it.

Is there a key or key combination that allows keyboard entry into the GPS?

It would be so much quicker to type in an airport or waypoint identifier than use the click spots on the dual knob.

It's becuase you use the knob to select the letters on real GPS units...

Click Direct To.....click the arrow...the flashing cursor should be on the left character......type in the ident.....

I use the keys on the default GPS.

Works fine for me.

thanks LLamedos, I have got it to work.

But there is a trap for young players.  In this country airport designators begin with Y.  So typing Y after bringing up the Direct-to box, sets the plane into slew mode with all the fun that brings.

I found that I had to click one of the arrows on the inside knob FIRST after which the letters can be typed in.  But I guess you guys knew that, but I am old and slow to learn new tricks.

Many thanks,

and yes you use the knobs in the real-world, but you turn them, you don't have to click.
