If a
GPS is a "gadget", then chart and compass are, too.

If a chart and compass are gadgets, then so are wings and tail. In my
book, the "gadgetness" of an aviation object has some relationship to
its necessity, complexity, and pronocity for failure. That which is
fundamentally necessary has lower gadgetocity. That which is fluff,
complex, and only peripherally related to the fundamental object in
question has higher gadgetocity.
