you can't go re-writting the ppl syllabus because you think that GPS is a rather natty bit of kit. an examiner will want to see a student do a nav-ex by using dead-reckoning, map reading and closing angles to regain track. no GPS is allowed in the test so why bring it into the lesson?
if an instructor cannot keep their own SA on a simple VFR nav-ex without the use of a GPS then what hope does the student have.
