Sorry i did not give alot of details.
I was flying flight plan route which would take me to the VOR.
ATC cut me off on a very long base leg basically and told me to go direct to a 10 mile final to intercept the LOC.
We did ask if we could go direct to the initial FIX of the loc approach, to which ATC responded "negative".
Night time, localizer approach, radar contact.
YGBSM!

You have an FMS and ND, a 14.5 NM fix AND the airport on the ND, and you can't figure out how to quickly navigate to a point about 2/3 of the way out from the airport to the fix?!? How "accurate" do you have to be at that point?!?

I think you need a basic instrument navigation refresher!
