when they can keep me within 3 mins of the checkpoints, 2 miles on course and get me a ground speed +- 5kts then i know they know how to do it the old fashioned way. the best nav equipment are the eyes, compass and a map. im a young guy but call me old fashioned....

Amen to that! Thank God someone teaching out there still has some common sense..

Unfortunately now you're staring at the GPS display waiting for a traffic alert that never comes.
