No wind calculations are ever done (other than how it affects GS and thus range) because with a GPS one gets continuous track guidance.
Am I missing something here? When you are sat in the aircraft, wings level, ball in the middle, how do you fly a track when there's a cross-wind? Do you wait until you veer off the GPS line a little and then correct, and continuously keep doing this? I can't think of any other way.
