OK. Then I can just continue using the /G for VFR. And it gives ATC
some ideas what I can do in inadvertent IMC. In fact I had one FSS
comment something that way on a flight filing.

Since you are NOT IFR rated, I doubt that ATC will even care if you are
slant Gulf.

They will be looking to give you vectors out of IMC ASAP.

If you have never been in IMC, you will be in for a very rude awakening AND
the GPS will be the last thing on your mind.

Don't let a simple thing like a GPS give you a false sense of security.

Your focus will be on just staying upright.
