They could also have had their head in the cockpit staring confused at their map and drawing pencil lines on their map as they tried to work out where they were or a diversion required!!! Unless you know what they were upto in the cockpit you cant make this statement.
A GPS requires a quick glance to determine where you are, the same person who would stare at a GPS would also stare confused at his/her map as well and therefore think its an invalid argument.
