That's interesting. What part of the country do you live in (assuming US),

what
altitudes, what kind of equipment?

I can't even remember all the different brands of RNAV I've had over the
years.
I'm based in Ohio, and I rarely have need to fly outside the U.S.
Mostly right now I fly my pressurized twin in the teens and low flight
levels
border-to-border and coast-to-coast with a CNX-80, MX-20, and other toys.
Previously, it was equipped with LORAN and VHF-DME RNAV,
and I've had other airplanes with VHF-DME RNAV since the '70s.

How about the Northeast? If I tried to fly from Boston to White Plains
without flying airways they'd laugh me off the frequency.
