Default Driving Doglegs

Guys,

I had the discussion how one could avoid driving doglegs with a GPS.

A dogleg is the course that occurs when you "aim" for your target
waypoint while wind or current pushes you from the side ... If you
follow bearing to target you would arch around the target and finally
meet it but it would NOT be a straght line..

Question is:

What does one have to do to get to the target on a staright line? Lets
assume we dont make lots of intermediate waypoints.

My 276C has CDI (cross track thing or whatever) havent been able to
test it but wonder if thats the solution?

Matt
