I can get a Cessna across the featureless Aussie outback to a dirt strip on some pastoral station at the right point on the map, at the right time AND do a descent profile as well. All this on a Garmin 195.

Now correct me if I'm wrong - but I thought that the Buff had the capability of flying 9 million miles from the good 'ol US of A, dropping a precision bomb through a given pane in a given window and saving the world before returning back home for kor-fee and medals. And yet it mistakes Blackbushe for Farnborough??!!!!

I'm sure that there is a very good reason which some USAF type will eventually divulge but it's sure got me beat at the moment.
