That said, I really hope they don't take away the compass locators on
localizer and ILS approaches. I don't know why, but I love watching
that needle flip around when I pass the marker. It's very satisfying
having a totally separate and simple system confirm your location. But
I guess they'll be going soon, too, as there's little reason to
maintain them.

Those have been going away for years. It's now somewhat rare to find an
LOM on an ILS approach.
