As you all know on IFR enroute charts you see an MEA and sometimes an MOCA on each airway. Since the MEA guarentees adaquate terrain clearance as well as nav signal coverage if flying /G can you fly at the MOCA even when farther than 22NM from the navaids since obviously GPS is independent from any ground based navaids. It is really a pain that on some airways the MEA can be several thousand feet above the MOCA.
