GPS Is here and is definitely the future
There are quite a few "Luddites" who cannot see this and who don't want to see this and the CAA gives them plenty of good reasons to stay in the dark ages however....
If you have a paper plan worked out and you back it up with GPS then you have the best of both worlds. FAA advise that a technically advanced aircraft is one which has an autopilot and gps and both of these are required equipment for flight.
