If that sort of workload balancing is too much then I'd have to think either incompetence, or the need for a licence limited to either mandatory
GPS equipment or flight with a co-pilot, flight engineer, navigator, radio operator & a flight attendant
It's just not that hard to measure 3 distances on a 1:1,000,000 or 1:500,000 or 1:250,000 scale chart and note the time & next HDG at a pinpoint or fix. Christ, I even manage to do it with my calibrated thumb & a pencil without drama. Everything else can be done looking out the window.
