Have you ever flown a passenger that wanted to see their house from the air, but you had no idea where it was based on their description?
Well, the easiest way to find their house is to switch your 496 to automotive mode, enter the street address then save the location. Switch your 496 back to aviation mode and browse the user created waypoints. The address will appear in that list as a waypoint. You can just hit direct to the waypoint and it will take you to your passenger's house.
I've done this a couple of times with Young Eagles and I did it yesterday evening with the wife of a prospective builder. The other neat thing was I set up my Trio to circle the last waypoint so it would take me to the address and execute a nice turn around the location.
