Less time 'eyes-in' looking at gucci GPS moving maps.

More time 'eyes-out' looking for threats.

What a fantastic idea. sombody with common sense!
Nope, just somebody trotting out the same tired old Luddite GASIL line. In reality, a quick glance at the GPS is all that's required whereas conventional map compass and stopwatch navigation requires far more head-down time studying the chart.

Neither of the ATC Grobs involved in the recent mid-air had GPS by the way.
