Exactly. But I also want a real flight-plan that tells me useful things like ETA at next waypoint. I could run 2 copies of Garmin Pilot - eg one on a phone that has the VOR/DME as the only active waypoint. But that seems daft when I am sure it could easily be done within the program on one device.

It does if I guess I am around 10 miles West of point X, and someone tells me that they are 11 miles and 290 degrees from point X.
