Agree the KLN series are no where near as user friendly as Garmin.

Bentleg sounds to me like the receiver is indeed providing you turn anticipation to the destination prior to you reaching the holding point.

Remember if a plan is active ie FPL#0 and you choose direct to a point in that plan the the receiver will automatically sequence as per FPL#0 after reaching the direct to waypoint or the anticipated turn point.

You can disable turn anticipation if desired FPL page 4 i think, or remove the destination from the end of FPL#0.

It has occurred to me, yet to try it out, if I set the CDI to 036 (heading desired at WOLNH) and press OBS, after doing the GOTO bit, that might work, but the manual doesnt say to do that.
Agree this should also work.

Ever had any issues with this GPS on other RNAV approaches?
Yes the KLN89 will not allow you make a reversal at an IAF, only at the FAF... eg if you try to load your approach when approaching IAF from the south the KLN will skip the IAF and go straight to the FAF. I believe the manual doesnt explicitly say it will do this but it does say reversals are only available at the FAF. When it happened to me i couldnt get the IAF into the plan so i hit obs and selected the desired inbound radial to the FAF from the IAF then used the range to FAF for a fix.. remember to go back to leg mode prior to FAF to proceed with the approach.
