Can you not use your GPS to navigate to intercept a specified course to a
fix, and track that course, without a line on a moving map? Or without a
CDI? Have you ever flown an NDB approach with an ADF?


Did you ever actually read the question?


Did you ever actually read the post I responded to? I responded to a
statement, not a question.

Do you understand my response? Do you understand that all these nice design
features of specific GPS boxes that we have been discussing are not
necessary to nagivate to a fix along a specified course? What experience do
you have flying vectors for approaches?

What experience do you have vectoring aircraft for approaches?


None, but I have experience flying them. And I can read.

What does experience have to do with what the rules say about vectors to
approaches?
