Default 430 Flight plan question.

We're flying to the Bahamas on Sunday and I programmed a flight plan from Ft. Pierce to overfly Freeport, then three more airports and landing at Rock Sound.

I discovered that we need to land at North Eleuthera, the next-to-last-airport in the flight plan, to clear customs and buy fuel. On takeoff, if I reactivate my original flight plan, will the 430 automatically take me to Rock Sound?

Thanks,

Default 430

Probably what will happen is that when you power it back up the plan will not be active. So.. go to FPL, activate it, then hit the cursor and scroll down to the leg you want active and hit enter, go back to map page.

You can test is before you go by powering it up and selecting any leg of the route.

Sounds like a fun trip btw.
