Doing my first apps with my newly installed and newer obsoleted M3 I see something I can't explain. If I go to Airports and dial up any airport and go direct EVERYTHING works as it should. I get good course needle activity, the to/from flag works perfect along with the indicator in the M3 itself (IN514 dedicated indicator for the GPS) but when I go an select and activate an approach I get only needle movement in the IN514 and NO to/from flag only "OFF". All the waypoints pass as needed, distance counts down in the M3, turn anticipation on the M3 works. Everything looks good BUT the FLAG. I shouldn't say everything it looks like the RAIM/WPT annuciator lights don't work either when they did the lst time I tried it. Any ideas?

Reading English is half the battle.
I had a RAIM hole coming warning and I see in the book that if that happens before the FAF that the flag stays in view. My bad.
