Flight plan on wacs and take a gps. Just because the technology is frowned upon by some for doing what technology does-making it easier it also provides a safety factor, both in terms of workload reduction in some circumstances and precision of location. A gps will tell you where you are, exactly. As a bushy in a recent article said: "you'd be mad to fly out here without a gps"
I'm coming after you, east coast to west coast and back. Soon.
