The GPS already starts up without a flight plan. You may be referring to the yellow GPS in the upper right corner of the display. That indication is the "nav source". It can be yellow for a couple of reasons.
The same behavior occurs when VLOC is selected as the nav source. The VLOC label will turn yellow when the IFD is not receiving a signal from the tuned VOR because the IFD cannot determine deviations to the selected radial.

...and that's OK. Just think of the yellow "GPS" as you would think of a CDI that's showing a NAV flag. ------------- Steve Lindsley Avidyne Engineering |

Firebreather, In response to your just going out to fly comment. The simplest answer to changing the "GPS" (yellow) to "GPS" (green) is to enter your waypoint/destination as your takeoff airport, then "activate flight plan" LSK. My IFD-540 always starts up with my current origination airport loaded, once it determines its GPS location. My airport is KRGA. My flight plan is: KRGA KRGA Voila!! I have a green "GPS" indication. Extra plus, I can always select the waypoint and press the Direct key and Enter to paint a magenta line to back home.
