Airways, VOR's? Ooooh errr missus. Even on the little ones it's type the name in the box and try and remember to press NAV. That will give you a great circle track, the same as what you would have got if you had tracked a VOR radial. VHF radio waves prefer to travel in straight lines = Great circles.
