I believe you have described the scenario that explains why moving-map

GPS
has taken over the cockpit.


Agreed, Jay. One of the reasons I was so upset was that conditions were

as
CAVU as CAVU gets. The entire terrain beneath me was like a moving-map

GPS!

BTW, as a lurker here while I've been working on my private, I've enjoyed
your contributions very much. I hope to be guest of yours some day!

Funnily enough, really clear conditions, are when a lot of 'mistaken
location' events take place!.
The problem is I suspect that the good visibility, can encourage a false
sense of security. In worse conditions, there is a tendency to double check
yourself, and think 'am I sure', whereas in really good conditions, this can
tend to be forgotten...
