What do you want to do long term? If you want to stay VFR pilot and alive, train not using GPS frequently. If you want to go airliner, you will forget most of the VFR stuff anyways. If you are only into scrubbing down hours by hours to reach a certain hour goal, use it to relax while hurrying to your goal, it is ok, but stop doing that thereafter.
Yes, GPS is a safety feature and rather nice, but it WILL lull you into wrong safety attitude. I always do the little nasty test when doing checkrides - switch off GPS and see wether the pilot would survive - an increasing number won't in case of electrical power loss.
