GPS navigation is wonderful, but we are just now beginning to realize
the many downsides of GPS such as tunnel vision, degraded situational
awareness, increased airspace incursions, more heads-down flying,
more buttons and more confusion.

Hmmm. In the civilian recreational pilot world GPS is pretty much seen as the best thing
to hit navigation since the invention of bread. I would believe there are fewer airspace incursions
since there is more awareness of exactly where you are and why the airspace
boundries are.

"Enhanced situational awareness" is a selling point of pretty much every
avation GPS sold.

Are you a pilot? Do your pilot friends also think these things about GPS?
