Hmmm. In the civilian recreational pilot world GPS is pretty much seen
as the best thing to hit navigation since the invention of bread.

Exactly right. And therein lies the crux of the problem (e.g: GPS is
pretty much seen as the ONLY thing to hit navigation since the
invention of bread).

Who thinks this silly thought. A list of inventions to help navigation
since the invention of bread probably includes

maps
clocks
compases
VORs
Loran




I would believe there are fewer airspace incursions since there is
more awareness of exactly where you are and why the airspace
boundries are.

You're obviously not a flight instructor, huh?

This is the quality of argument? I offer a claim and a possible explanation ...
you question my profession? Wow, good argument.

My flight instructed pretty much never said "Don't use the GPS, it's the
devil's tooland you will burn in hell for it." He instead
taught me pilotage and VORs and GPSs too.

Are you a pilot?

Ya. Are you a pirate?

Do your pilot friends also think these things about GPS?

Yo ho yo ho shiver me timbers!

Yep. You're funny. Thank you for you wit.
