Recall that the aviation priorities place "communicate" third in line. The
first two priorities were enough for me to correct the problem and I was
able to get back on course within a minute or so of the GPS outage.

Right. I wasn't criticizing ... sorry if I came across that way. I was only
thinking that getting vectors while working out the details might have
lessened any pucker factor that may have been involved.


Had my pants been further down around my ankles (had my charts been in the
back seat, for example), then yes, I would have requested a vector.
