That is the question reduced to a binary choice again. In PPL training GPS Bad ! anywhere, anytime, Basic nav GOOD ! all the time, everywhere
I certainly never suggested that the basics not be taught first and I have not seen any other instructor say that either.
What I did say is rather than pretending GPS doesn't exist in the PPL course I think that it should be introduced after the basic concepts. Done properly it reinforces good navigational practices.
