What type of GPS do you have it connected to?
Are you getting the flight plans from the GPS on the EFIS?
If you do a -D-> from the map menu and press yes for internal navigation you should see a flight plan.

I don't have an external GPS, I'm using AFS. Only the puck is external.
-D- button does work by popping up a screen on which I can enter an a/f code.
Once you enter the airport code is should show it in the flight plan and then let you select the airport runways.

I understand that Rob, but my problem relates to flight plans, not going "Direct to", or are you saying that the only flight plan function is the "Direct to" one?
Once you enter a Direct To you have a flight plan and can then add more points.
or you can do this:
press [FLT PLAN]
press [SRCSEL] until the FLIGHT PLAN TITLE changes to FLIGHT PLAN FOR INTFP
[EDIT]
[INSERT]
Enter WP ID
[SAVE]
repeat
We are curently working on making the flight plan entery a lot more user friendly and should have an update in a few weeks for the AF-4500.

Thanks, I'll try that.
I'm looking forward to the update for entering flight plans. Will this also include the ability to save them? In the meantime, I have a question . . . would the 4500s recognize a flight plan initiated/transferred by a Garmin 796?
Yes, it will currently display the flight plan from an external GPS. It will also let you set the runways and altitudes for the external flight plan.
We are currently finishing the flight plans in the AF-5000 series units, you can save, load, and transfer a flight plan from an external PC. Once we finish the flight plans on the AF-5000 we plan on working on the AF-4500 system.

Any progress on saving/loading flight plans?
We have not had the software engineering time to update the AF-4500 units, it is still on the list.
