... and the days are numbered for most of the few remaining ones.

Now is the time to embrace GPS, not stand on the sidelines accusing the people who do use it of being incompetent!

Anyone can, in about 30 seconds, come up with a handful of simple routes (OCAS if you like) that can no longer be achieved using ground based aids.

An IFR GPS is actually a very complex piece of kit with lots of hidden nuances. I don't understand why mastering that device is somehow seen as a lesser skill than using radio nav. It's certainly a heck of a lot more relevant these days!
