Zoom in if you want to be EXACT.

No... you got it right there. Moving map helps you visualize on the *big*
scale... at least the way I've seen it. If you zoom in to where it's accurate enough
to nail a hold/airway/loc, it's not a moving map anymore. It's now an indicator. You
can also put additional indications on as an indicator and have both. In any event,
that's what I initially meant by "augmentation."

: I'm sorry, I guess I miss your point!

Don't get me wrong. A properly done moving map+indicator display can be
much more intuitive and have lots more information than a simple VOR needle. If done
improperly (like the way I've seen lots of my VFR friends with handheld spiffy-do
moving map GPSs), it leads to sloppy, lazy, and overconfident navigating.


Understand and agree, thanks!
