Everyone should have a look at GPS, even if you only take a handheld up with you for situational awareness. I have taken Navbox Pro up with me and hooked the GPS upto my laptop and is absolutely brilliant!
Fly the VOR and see where you are when in the cloud, my view is you should use everything availiable to you to reduce your pilot workload and let you fly the plane. I have seen more than one post on here from guys saying they prefer to navigate by 'dead reckoning' by why???? Yeah learn it and be able to do it but why pick the hardest form of nav when you have so many more and much easier open to you? GPS is an excellent one and if you have a panel mounted IFR certified GPS then all the better, I have flown a few approaches using them, give em a go!
