I think Plankie is suggesting with a correct map and GPS cursor you can and should therefore fly in certainty around steps and not on them. I am sure that was his intent.

As for the Tablet..... yep I use one too, and I have the VTC's and as pointed out its more reliable around Brisbane than the Jepp database, but I do not use it for airspace avoidance, thats not the way to do things. A $20K TSO146 GPS and I can noot trust the database ...... but the good Jepp folk are looking into it.

Makes me think IFR is the way to go.....even for a short flight!
