I would like to hear some feedback as to how pilots are violating airspace
with GPS.


Someone here just posted about busting SEA's class B (partly) due to
being zoomed in too far to get the big picture.

I flew straight into a class D instead of skirting it because I hadn't
been using the GPS map for anything up to that point and someone else
had switched it (rental plane) from track-up to north-up. I would have
missed it (my pilotage was fine) but the map put it just north of me
which I read as 'right in front of me' so I turned while I tried to
figure out how I could possibly be where it said I was...
