I've been flying for well over 30yrs a maybe have flown with a GPS in the
airplane about 6 times..

It does not take GPS to stay out of restricted airspace.. it takes
pilotage.. and a lot more than single digit IQ.



You're right, it doesn't. But in today's world, GPS technology is
available and affordable, and when you're weaving your way around
sensitive airspace, it's a very, very good idea to use all available
technology to your benefit--regardless of how good your pilotage skills
may be.
