Very quick, 2 point Nav into a runway, setup tip(s)

Ver 14.65 has a very useful 2 point nav feature.
To save that extra few vital seconds and clicks, here is how to set a very quick, 2 point mini route, with the added ability of having a chosen designated runway/ILS as the second point.

6 clicks and you are there:

On the map screen....

(MAP) Short tap on your DESTINATION airport
(DIALOG) Short tap at the top airport ICAO designator (This gives you the option to select a runway/ILS)
(LIST) Short tap on your chosen runway
(MAP) Short tap on your first navigation point (VRP, beacon , approach fix, etc.)
(DIALOG) Short tap on "Nav 2" button
(nav1/nav2) Long tap on the nav1/nav2 Dialog box on the screen. (This sets the order correct on nav1/nav2)

This works great under pressure for when things change as you are approaching an airport and is also very quick for a 2 point mini route but with added option of an end runway.

Do you tend to fly a short hop to you next local airport for breakfast or out to a favourite spot and back?
Why not setup a quick , out from one runway and into the destination airport runway with the option of a quick return to base using the Nav1/Nav2 feature.

Tip 2

7 clicks and you are there:

On the map screen....

(MAP) Short tap on your DEPARTURE airport
(DIALOG) Short tap at the top airport ICAO designator (This gives you the option to select a runway/ILS)
(LIST) Short tap on your departure runway
(MAP) Short tap on your DESTINATION airport (DIALOG)
(DIALOG) Short tap at the top airport ICAO designator (This gives you the option to select a runway/ILS)
(LIST) Long tap on your departure runway
(LIST) Short tap on "Nav 2" button
DONE

At any time....
Long tap on the nav1/nav2 Dialog box on any screen at any time, reverses the order on nav1/nav2

This gives the option of a departure check out of the correct runway/flying straight out check, then when you are ready, long press at the Nav1/Nav2 and you are then directed to your destination airport and runway. At any time in flight (or on your return) you can long press the Nav1/Nav2 to flip back to your home airport where the runway is already set for you. :-)
