"Why would an ATC unit require you to divert somewhere 60 miles away ??
That's just being silly"
Prune Radar - ah, well if you read my earlier post you would know why.
"Anyway back to GPS.... Surely it is not beyond the realms of possibility that a totally integrated planning/mapping system that can be downloaded directly to a GPS can be developed?"
Say again slowly - I hate to take your pseudonym in vein, but to say it again very slowly it has already been done! - minus only the NOTAMS.
I think some of these posts typify one of the biggest problems with GPS (and other "new" tecnologies for that matter). People simply cant be bothered to understand what it does, and what its capabilities are. I dont mind that in itself (we are all sometimes too busy) but I do have a problem when they are willing to criticise from such an ill informed position.
