why is track crawling so derided in lower level Day VFR flying? If my track line passes over or alongside prominent features why wouldnt I point the aircraft toward said feature, draw an imaginary line over the ground to the feature and follow it, as you approach it look for the next etc. etc.

You wouldnt need worry about poor or no available forecast, 1-in-60's, whizz wheels et al.

Of course, time checks and cross reference to compass and usual airmanship points apply.

Just a query.
