It would be super helpful if, during a flight, I could long-press a waypoint in my flight plan (or add a dedicated ‘Direct to’ button), so that the route would be shortened to my current position and a straight line to the chosen waypoint, thereafter continuing normally. This happens quite often on online networks, where ATC will give you a DIRECT, making parts of the route obsolete. It’d be great if I could reflect that change in my moving maps in Navigraph as well. ---
