mraviator, Sorry to hear your having problems, the FMS takes a little getting used to Try this and let me know what happens. Press the INIT Key and then press Direct To Key. After that enter your first waypoint and then press the ENTER KEY. The FPL Window should now show the correct Bearing and Distance. Let me know how it goes. Jim Unfortunately that did not work. I click FMS on the MFD, then launch the ReadyPad, then press INIT then Direct To before I even bring up the Waypoint window. The attached screen shot shows the result. It displays my latitude correctly (just north of Austin, TX), but my longitude is set to zero. mraviator, The longitude is set, its just not displayed. The FMS can not calculate the bearing and distance until it knows where you are AND where you are going. Please do the same as you did but then enter the first waypoint, and then let me know what it shows. Thanks, Jim
