I've been lost, we all have...especially as students...but managed to get where I was going without GPS. It wasn't in the plane I used for my PPC anyway. I don't use it for IFR flying either, because I choose not to. I know HOW to fly a GPS approach, and for the approach concept...I don't see it being much different than flying any other non-precision approach. But for navigation, nah...I'm content with being old school. I don't do much IFR anyway. I'm not taking a 172 out in blowing snow with temps below 0 and wind gusts up above 25 all the time. Yesterday the airport had wind gusts of 47. Winter flying isn't popular here. Sure sounds fun though. hehe.
