with two very polarised points of view
I disagree.
Some of us are saying that GPS forms a part of the toolkit and should be considered for use in an integrated nav solution, not really a polarised view, more of a common sense view, I would have thought. Anyone using only GPS is also demonstrating poor airmanship in my opinion and that would be a polarised position.
Some others are saying they prefer traditional methods.
The irony is that I bet all the posters talking integrated solution are pretty hot on the concepts and practices of traditional methods.
Anyone who cannot maintain situational awareness without a GPS should probably not be in command of an aircraft, but having such a useful too can reduce the workload and stress considerably and if used properly, make more time for looking out, which is pretty important OCAS.
Codger says it nicely in his post.
As to 'What does that mean?', it means that Chuck Ellsworth has spent a lot of time learning about flying and is worth listening to. Nothing more or less.
Your attempt to start off light humour on this subject was sadly doomed before it started, due to historical threads, not your fault and please don;t take it personally.
