The original poster says "I am not wealthy nor IFR rated" and thus
cannot be issued clearance for an instrument approach anyway. Since
they cannot be operating IFR, what other flight plan is there, and why
isn't /G fine since they have a GPS and there is no requirement that
I'm aware of that a database be current for VFR usage?

It just tells ATC that you have a really good backup for situational
