Filing Can I file IFR flight planDIRECT with a TSO 129 or 196 GPS (i.e. non WAAS), do I have to file along victor routes or between VORs or can I file DIRECT-WAAS GPS?

AMIThe AIM 1-1-17 2 (a) Statesstates:

Aircraft using un-augmented GPS (TSO-C129() or TSO-C196()) for navigation under IFR must be equipped with an alternate approved and operational means of navigation suitable for navigating the proposed route of flight. (Examples of alternate navigation equipment include VOR or DME/DME/IRU capability). Active monitoring of alternative navigation equipment is not required when RAIM is available for integrity monitoring. Active monitoring of an alternate means of navigation is required when the GPS RAIM capability is lost.

Does this mean that if I have a non-WAAS GPS unit then I have to file victor routesonly along Victor airways or between VORs or? Or can I file DIRECT?

Can I file IFR DIRECT with a non-WAAS GPS?
