i don’t know Garmin Pilot, but as the 430 has been around for 30years and this is fairly common functionality I would be surprised if similar wasn’t already in the Garmin Pilot....
Yes, that is relatively easy to do in Garmin Pilot. Just touch the screen over a point and get the distance and bearing TO the point. Or use two fingers and place a line between aircraft and point. This is a certainly possible, but a bit fiddly usually involving a change of zoom level. It would be way easier if there was a window with distance and bearing from a designated point permanently shown.
