There is no better way to get your Nav skills up than leaving the fancy gizmos off and use a map and timer.
I remember flying out to White cliffs from YSBK via Parkes. We did the whole thing sans gps and the amount of discussion and interaction regarding route, position etc, up front, was great fun.
On the way back we switched the screen on, I think we spoke about 1/4 of the time, it had all the answers.
Turn it off and leave it off, you'l enjoy it much more!!!
