The GPS will tell you where you are, and when you will arrive (hopefully), BUT is removes a big chunk of your situational awareness.
This is total bollox, as far as I'm concerned.
I fail to understand why GPS appears to excite such anti feelings. It's an extraordinary aid to navigation. People who decry it in the ways expressed here are like people who don't like these new-fangled aileron things and think we should stick with wing-warping.
Get real: a moving map, GPS, in a split second glance, will tell you exactly where you are on the planet and which direction you're moving and how fast. What, for God's sake, is wrong with that? Why is it viewed as 'cheating'?
