SNS3Guppy - you do seem to have a knack of turning every thread into a "learning experience".
That's always the goal.

One might be surprised to learn just how many "children of the magenta line" operate cockpits out there, who veritably curl into a ball and die if they can't follow a GPS to their destination. My comment, therefore, is not without merit.

The handheld GPS is a great toy and a wonderful gimmick, but no replacement for a chart. Often, that's unrecognized or forgotten, occasionally to the detriment and even loss of life of the forgetful.
