Really, gosh.

And there was me thinking that it was perfectly reasonable to use the GPS as backup for my up to date paper chart and old fashioned navigation technique. And that even if the airspace moves, in my experience a GPS will still tell me where I am, which way I'm going, how fast, and where the airfields are.
