A violation? Not if he didn't ask for or recieve a GPS routing. What do
you is you ask for a radar vector direct and follow it using your GPS. In
some situations, you can even prompt them for it by saying "can you give
me a radar vector 332 degrees direct to ALB". You're not using the GPS
as primary nav, you're using the radar vector as primary nav, and
monitoring it using the GPS. If the GPS died, you'd still be able to fly
the heading bug on your DG.
