My experience was that my flying training improved my simulator flying, but things didn't happen the other way around!
However, I found that photographic scenery and topography were really useful for learning navs. Even now if I'm off to somewhere a bit out of the way, I occasionally get out the old stopwatch and run it on the sim first.
