This scenario has been causing me fits lately.
You've got an IFR flight plan that includes a departure from the airport, followed by direct to a waypoint. You take off and ATC vectors you in another direction, and then says "proceed on course."
Which of the following am I expected to do?
1) Turn to intercept the direct line course between the airport I left and the waypoint (what shows in my GPS)
2) Go direct from where I am right then to the waypoint
Probably a simple answer I should know, but it's bugging me.
