Default i think I flew into class c airspace accidentally without establishing communication

Any pilot better be prepared to use electronics as the primary nav tool.
For example, eastern Washington state looks awful nondescript at night
and
if there's a cloud layer above, putting the north star off of one wingtip
or
another isn't going to work.


Yes, I agree. My point is that most of the time you use primary tools
and in that case it would be a chart for VFR


I can't think of an instance where that's not true. The (current)
sectional is authoritative for VFR flights compared against GPS or whatever
else you're using.
