I agree, adding that a pilot should be trained and must be able to navigate without depending on the GPS magenta line but using it as a cross check.

If the regulatory body in the country that you received your private pilots license did not stipulate that you be taught basic navigation using a map, compass and a watch and insured you in fact did understand same then the country you live in must be truly primitive.

I should know better than get into these discussions for the simple reason it is a no win waste of time.
