Not sure about the reliance on GPS - seems to be a fairly common argument nowadays. I have seen infringements before, where the pilot has used the fact that he is "having problems with the GPS" as an excuse. Would pilots maybe become too dependant on it to the detriment of their navigation skills?
DP raised some good points, particularly with regard to emphasis on nav training.
