New Datablocks in 10.1.1??

3. I agree that it is operationally very useful to have some easy means of knowing your direct distance (no button hook, no ATN, etc) to a waypoint.   Towards those ends, we are going to create two new types of datablock options for folks to pick if they want.   We will add the "Active Waypoint Direct Info" datablock which will contain the active waypoint identifier, present position bearing to that active waypoint, and present position direct distance to that waypoint.   We will also add the "Direct Distance to Active Waypoint" datablock which will contain the active waypoint identifier and present position direct distance to that waypoint.  Those two new datablock adds will come shortly after Release 10.1.0.0.

Even if not "necessary" it is a good idea to just take a couple of pictures (every avionics tech has a smart phone these days) before power is removed.  I would click all of the map datablock settings and the user settings and anything else I could think of, before power is removed.

Worst-case, the pictures go unused because everything else works as designed.
