I often end up contradicting myself sorry

The more and more you think about something the more you tend to persuade yourself its the right thing to do. I had never really considered using a gps to be honest, I assumed they would be totally out of reach financially.

"As for GPS...... I wish I could afford one as back up! I intend to really nail VFR planning etc hopefully that will stand me in good stead for my CPL! It does please me to see so many VOR's and NDB's on the charts though!"

That still stands, I really want to improve my VFR work not only as it makes up substantial part of the CPL but it makes you a better Pilot. I have a tendency to just track VOR-VOR NDB-NDB, I want to get out of that habit.

Is cheap always the best option? Or is it better to get something I can use later on aswell that is not so out of date?

Cheers guys
