Needed a reset every now and then from a VOR/D , and would not have used it for an approach . Doppler drift and G/S from same source also V useful .. especially on instrument apps.

Did a year on the T3. I don't recall the moving map ever being used in earnest because it quickly wandered away from true position. Nav on European routes was VOR/DME/NDB. A useful feature was the auto-drift on the HSI. When OFF the a/p flew heading selected. With AUTO the a/p flew the selected heading as a track.

IIRC the moving map kit included a stylus for recording track achieved but again I never saw it in use.
