That is the best and most refreshing post I have heard from the "anti GPS" lobby.
I enjoy navigating visually as well. I particularly enjoy the precision flying type events. Pilots should recognise traditional navigation as an enjoyable skill to perfect and do well. In my view what they certainly should not do is claim it is better / safer / easier than using a GPS which it is not
Anyone who claims to be able to navigate well traditionally should take part in one of these events. They are demanding and of course will encompass an area with which you are not familiar. I accept they are far harder than traditionally navigating long cross country legs but they do give you a good appreciation as to whether your skills are up to navigating through a small corridor between CAS with which you are completely unfamiliar.
