Yes there is. RAIM provided integrity. As long as no signal error
exists (vast majority of the time) then your assertion is basically
correct.


How does RAIM provided integrity make a practical difference?


In the event of a signal error that could cause a position error of
hundreds of miles you would be alerted. Otherwise you might
accurately follow a slowly drifting position from GPS into terra
firma.

Nope. The controller will alert me to the error and nudge me back on
course.

Ok. You must be in an area with radar coverage everywhere.

I'm in the US. If I'm on an off-airways route beyond usable navaid limits
then I'm definitely within radar coverage because radar monitoring is
required for such operations.
