I don't want to become a "GPS Pilot", but already, after just 10 hours of using a GPS, I've noticed myself going down that route
Same is true when you become IR'd. I'd file IFR in the US just so I don't have to look at a VFR chart, especialy if flying into an unfamiliar area (airspace magically disappears)........after all IFR charts are hell of a lot simpler, and so long as you file for a reasonable altitude you're not going to run into any cumulogranitus

oops, sorry off topic.....
