I believe you can still select waypoints while using the RMI. I'm going
flying tomorrow morning,
so I'll double check and let you know. You can use the RMI in RMI-only mode
or in
"normal" mapping mode with the RMI needles superimposed on the moving map.

I don't know why Eventide doesn't license that technology. It would be great
to be able to
select waypoints on a 430/530, an MX-20 or Avidyne unit.
