They do have that function.......

I would be willing to bet you that the A380 would have PANC airport data all complete in its database.

If not then they could easily have created a RUNWAY in the database PANC06 ( for e.g. ) filled in all the required data fields then changed the destination to PANC06, off they go.

They would have ANC VOR waypoint Lat Long ( the VOR would be in the database and probably the ILS as well ) and they could track direct, then manually tune the ILS ( unless the ILS is in the database already ) and VOR for a conventional landing after radar vectors

We fly to a few Airports that don't have the ILS in the FM due system problems, it doesn't stop us landing using the ILS.

What happened to good old fashioned VOR and/or ILS tuning if required?
