Didn't realize that it took a lot of machismo to determine if a needle
was pointing left or right. But I've been wrong before.

Gene,

I guess I still wasn't clear on what I was trying to say. A GPS is
great for knowing where you are on a pre-planned course. A GPS moving
map isn't good for much of anything.


Well, I couldn't agree less. GPS moving maps are a WONDERFUL tool for
situational awareness. In fact, beyond the AI, it doesn't get much
better. If you think wasting your time interpreting arcane needles is
better, it may be time to tune down the machismo ;-)
