The problem that still exists in large chunks of the world is that modern GPS/FMS systems are too accurate! They take you to where the beacon is supposed to be rather than where it actually is, and all the flight testing for obstacle clearance was done by someone tracking the real beacon.
So if you are not cross checking the raw data you may be in for a shock one day!
Excellent point
