FAF name not in GPS approaches?

[Marauder]

The problem with VTF making waypoints disappear is so prevalent that the AIM specifically recommends against using it. Even with the new firmware I prefer to load an approach using a IAF that makes sense based on my direction of flight, most especially with a T approach like the one in your post.
Speaking of the new firmware, have you checked out the new ad hoc hold capability? Basically you punch in the clearance as given.
(sorry that the clicks are louder than my voice. New screen recording software)
 

I have played with the 6+ firmware and it does add some nice features. The video (clicking aside ) was a great demonstration of it. Thanks for posting it.

They do, but the watch ️ was really heavy to wear when I did that.

A tool that makes things easier usually requires understanding how the tool works. Personally, I find a GPS approach much easier to navigate than a VOR and definitely more likely to put me within striking distance of a runway than an off-field ADF. 

It's easy to forget when shopping, that all the cool tools come at a price over and above the check you write to the installer and to Jeppesen.  

The price to be paid is that you must negotiate the learning curve of how to make the gadget do what you want it to do.  Depending on how often you fly and the availability of desktop simulation software, the time to master the gadget may prove lengthy.
