If I'm going outside the area I know, then usually Ded Reckoning with a full plog. Otherwise purely looking out the window.
The only navaid my aircraft has is a GPS which incorporates a not-very-good VOR receiver. I've only used it in anger on three occassions. Two times were when the vacuum pump was broken, and I used the moving map to confirm that I was heading in the right direction because I wasn't confident about compass turns.
The other one was when I was flying with another group member who wanted to play with it while I flew (we programmed in our route, and used the CDI to confirm we were on track - would take me ages to figure out how to do it again, and we only managed to do that because our turning point happened to already be in the database). Was bl00dy boring - won't bother doing that again. Looking out of the window and at a map is much more fun.
Only time I've ever really needed to use nav-aids was flying across the Californian dessert in 8 miles viz - nothing within 8 miles to confirm my location, so used VORs instead. Of course that's all changing now I'm doing my IMC rating - but I don't plan on changing the way I fly the Europa in VMC.
