Are you telling the forum or asking a question?
Just my two cents worth- if you want a question answered, at least spend a bit of time asking it properly!

It's in Garmin's database: ORD. The fact it's an L VOR is irrelevant, at least for a complete database for that area.

Well technically it's the Chicago vor/GCO. If that's not your problem I don't know. I can dig it up to set the ranges for the O'Hare SID in a B744.

GCO is not in the database I have.
On the O'Hare Five is appears to be a DME facility without a VOR.
737-9 Everyone else seemed to understand the sentence with a question mark at the end!

They didn't send you to the VOR, they sent you direct to the airport, they should have said as much, but they like to just say direct ORD, not realizing some people take that to mean the VOR.
