And here I will **** everyone off:

That's why you need the GPS. Much better situational awareness.

How would that help? Unless the GPS knows your heading (and most don't), the map display will be
ground track up, and will show the airport straight ahead. This could just confuse the situation even
further.

Right. I was taught to be aware of my wind correction angle, and
the direction I will need to look for the airport when I finally
break out.
