That's why I made the point of mastering your GPS on/off function.

My Kitfox has recycled steam gauges, no glass panel and no GPS. I left the fancy boxes parked at the gate when I retired from the airline.

If I can't get there with a sectional, compass and whiz wheel; then, I'm missing the point of flying a low and slow VFR aircraft. ( I now have one of those light blue cards with a hole in it. )
