1. The most annoying for me, is there a way to skip the active waypoint the plane is headed for? This is most crazy when taking off from an airport, and the first waypoint is like 100 feet away and the plane starts to go in circles trying to catch it.

2. And is there a way to find an ETA for the wholeover flight, rather than just to the next waypoint?

1.) To activate a specific leg of the active flight plan

* From the Active Flight Plan page, press the CRSR button to activate the cursor.
* Rotate the large knob to highlight the desired destination waypoint.
* Press the MENU button, select the "Activate Leg?" option, and press the ENT button. (GPS 500 only)
-or-
Press the Direct-to button twice. (GPS 500 and GPS 295)
A confirmation window will appear.
* With Activate? highlighted, press the ENT button.
2.) Negative
The Total is however, posted in the Navigation page of kneeboard -- if a flightplan is loaded
