Well Google Maps is still a map, so yes, that would do. I still like to fondle paper though.
I'll tell you how good GPS is: for visual flight (i.e. not your large passenger plane type) it's still against aviation laws in Australia to use GPS as the *primary* form of navigation in an aircraft. You gotta plot your course on the old fashioned paper chart and navigate by reference to ground features. You can use GPS as a check. (That's not to say there aren't heaps of gumbies leaving their charts on the ground then pressing the GoTo button on their box of tricks. Fine until the batteries run out.) |
