Most of us have probably deviated from the original thread

My question is this: is there a LAW which says a PPL must navigate using visual navigation? He can LEGALLY navigate with any method that works. This includes IFR navigation (any or all of GPS, VOR, DME, ADF or radar vectors).

A PPL who competently navigates using IFR may have difficulty spotting some VRPs. I have certainly found that some VRPs are far from obvious even when you know exactly where they are, or there is a similar looking object/feature a mile or two away!
