I was referring specifically to the pages and pages (ad nauseum) of
study
questions that show you a VOR instrument, totally out of context with
anything else, and ask you to determine where you are in relation to

the
transmitter.


I think those questions are good because if you can't answer them
instantly and
easily, you're doing it the hard way. If you understand the VOR as a
"quadrature instrument" instead of (or in addition to) as a "course
instrument",
it's VERY easy.

I agree though that with a working GPS the VORs are pretty useless...
