GPS v's Good ole Nav

Right there has been a couple of threads where we argue the pro's and con's of GPS and if they make us lazy pilots or make us depend on them.

Bose-X and myself have decided to do a little test, and to share the whole experience.

The plan is for us to plan a flight and then go and fly it (in the same plane). One of us will follow the plan the other will follow the GPS. we are going to see if we can get each other lost. Hopefully we can dispell any theory that we become lazy for forget how to navigate.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this more entertaining?

Or is anyone intertested in hearing about the experiment.
