Clear a destination on GPS

I often use the gps when flying general aviation, and will set the destination to give me a guide as to distance and heading.

But after I reach the destination, it's still there in the gps. How can I clear that destination from the gps. I can select another destination if I want to, but what do I do if I just want to clear the gps?

Thanks, Ted

You press and hold CLR.

That's too easy! I never tried the "hold" before. Thanks, Ted

You can also press CLR up to three times to clear clutter.

And if you press and hold MSG twice the annoying messages should disappear.

How long am I supposed to hold the CLR button? I just tried 20 seconds, but nothing seemed to happen! I was trying to clear a single destination. Using FSX Steam "Deluxe". - Ted

There is no way to clear a waypoint from the GPS interface. I just ignore or skip around the ones I don't want.

An alternative is to set HDG mode on the AP and go into the FSX flight planner. Edit TAB , Select the desired item and DELETE WAYPOINT. Save as "temp.pln" and resume your flight. The item will be missing from the GPS. Re-select the current waypoint, Menu and Activate. Re-engage NAV mode.

Thanks for the clarification!
