Narrative:

On an instrument training flight we had departed IMC within our void time. Our routing was put into the garmin 430 by my student and owner of the aircraft. This unit requires all fixes to be manually entered. One intersection was missed along the victor airway and resulted in the wrong track being followed. The controller caught this within 10 NM of the VOR and turned us toward the correct course. We continued and the flight continued uneventfully with no conflicting traffic. The problem arose because the airway was read from an ipad and the settings menu was not set to include fixes between VOR's. In an effort to meet a void time this was not double checked and the intersection that defined the airway was not included. The routing will be double checked in the future.

Title: A SR22 had a track deviation because the on board Garmin 430 was improperly programed from iPad data because the iPad settings did not include intermediate VOR's on the airway.
