There is absolutely nothing wrong with "using the handheld to go
direct BIGGY" any more than there is something wrong with using your
watch and compass to go direct BIGGY.
(or your sextant or your ham sandwich, for that matter)

"Illegal" is the wrong word. Navigating by a handheld GPS as the primary
source of navigation (as was suggested in the prior posting) is not
permitted. As an adjunct to some other, primary navigation device, certainly
GPS makes good sense.
The prior poster suggested just using the handheld to go direct BIGGY.

Ummm. I think :in this day and age anyone who flies IFR in IMC WITH a GPS
handheld, which would enable you to fly direct BIGGY, is just plain
illegal.


Oh? What law would flying IFR in IMC WITH a handheld GPS violate?
