In military aviation the Nav still has a presence only because of the age of some of our inventory. If you look at our newer stock he/she has been replaced by a set of black boxes, often more capable of doing the same job.

The civilain world tidied up their flight decks ages ago with the removal of Nav's and Fe's, we are slowly but surely following suit and will get there in time, it's inevitable folks.
