I have had exactly the same instructing somebody for their syndicate checkout, from his existing home airfield.
I've nothing against GPS - my Aera has got me out of a hole without having to ask for outside help a couple of times, ditto MemoryMap + CAA charts on my phone, and both de-stressed numerous flights. But I really try hard not to rely upon it.
