That sounds strange, and possibly aircraft-specific, or possibly my  
fault.

Can you provide some exact steps to reproduce this?

Eg
        - select navaid 'foo' in the GPS
        - enter OBS mode
        - select OBS radial XXX
        - ... and so on

The interaction between the GPS OBS radial and nav[0]/radials/selected- 
deg is probably the issue here, I am still ensuring thise code does  
the 'expected' thing in each case.

Direct-To. See the wiki page on the GPS for information:

(and of course let me know if the docs aren't clear!)
