How easy is GPS?
May be a stupid question but I've never used a GPS flying.
Say under normal PPL exam conditions, you're diverted. You draw a line on your chart, you get out your whizz-wheel, you account for wind and variation and off you go.
What do you do with a GPS? Bring up the new destination, hit GOTO and the heading appears? Do you have to account for wind? If you don't will you fly a side to side pattern like tracking a VOR without laying off the drift?
Basically I'm wondering how easy is it?
Thanks in advance,
