Bloggs,
It is now obvious that you should surrender your Instrument Rating....if indeed you have a real one, because it is quite obvious that you do not self brief before carrying out an RNAV approach and most likely every other type of approach.
If you did then you would not get confused about the waypoints during the approach.
The problem with the RNAV approaches is not the chart or the waypoints or the distance to run to the next waypoint, its with the foolhardy pilots who have failed to understand how they work and expect something different to what is actually presented.
Your points about the presentation of information on the older 'strip' type GPS boxes is valid and CASA should have given more consideration to allowing that type of equipment to be used in the first place. But imagine the stink that decision would have caused. CASA would have been accused of imposing unnecessary cost on the industy by the likes of blokes like you.
The latest boxes are sensational and the map almost eliminates getting lost in the procedure.
Keep your cool though Bloggs, I'd hate to think that you lose it so easily on the internet, but somehow keep cool in the cockpit.
