n5296s,

To your excellent list I'd add lightning strike detection.

Chilli Monster,

So true, but you can also always spot those that have never flown within CONUS

Also an ADF tuned into a distant radio station will be more sensitive to heading changes than a compass if you lose all your gyros in a cloud, but then that's why we all carry a hand held GPS as backup, isn't it
