What the !!!!'s to stop you using GPS and Chart simultaneously?
I find it soothing to follow the magenta line but I do look out the bleedin' window all the time and match stuff on the ground with stuff on the chart and stuff on the GPS.
But I also before I go anywhere programme waypoints on the steam driven 8-waypoint RNAV.
Soooooooo..... I believe in triple redundancy but prefer to follow the high tech to the map and stopwatch.
These long drawn out GPS bashing threads give me the willies but while the rules are that GPS is for back up only , the detractors will always have the moral (and probablylegal) high ground.
Safe (and triple redundant) flying
