Easier yet would be the ability to enter a string of waypoints and then have the unit list and route them with only one enter click. A few years back ('06/'07) I was using a flight planner on the internet, forgot whose it was; I think an early AOPA, but after I entered the aircraft data than all I had to do was select "routing" as VOR ,and put in the first and last "airports" mind you, and the planner produced a flight plan from the orgin airport to the destination airport via your selected routing -VOR in my case, I believe LAC's as well . I would print it out in flight plan format and was done and ready to file provided I was going to fly that route. It was unbelieavably easy. It always planned the great circle routing at MEA's. Its gone now, I asked around but haven't found one like it since. The flight planner, whoever it was, decided to make some changes and removed that ability in favor of GPS/RNAV direct, but then you had to figure out and enter your own waypoints, if you wanted any. Try that on a two fuel stop XC it ain't easy... Ahhh "the good old days" of simple VOR flight planning before we all started using GPS direct where we have the "Luxury" to pick out our own waypoints. It was fun to fool around with to see if you could take a different route by changing the origin airport., or change a mid-route VOR, for fuel or RONing, the planner would do all the planning for you and recalulate fuel and times, and give you a whole new route if your fuel stop change was excessively off route. It was the best. It was routing at MEA so if you wanted to fly a lower more indirect route you could manipulate the VOR's and etc. Best of all this planner was free. dp
