Can GPS be *too* accurate? Do I need some XTE??

In the "good old" VOR days, it must have been pretty difficult to fly
down
the centerline of an airway (or of any direct track).

...snip...

As for being difficult to fly the VOR, it was/is no more difficult
than flying a compass heading and holding it.....which many pilots
seem unable to do anymore. They would prefer that electronic gadgets
do their flying for them and no thoughts as to what happens when the
electrodes take a vacation.


Never having flown a VOR course myself... ...snip...

I could be wrong.

If you have never flown a VOR course, where in hell do you fly? .... So
again, where do you fly?

Hey, I never said that I flew at all. yet. I don't think that disqualifies
me from trying to clarify some stuff for the day that I might :-)

Inspire me. Educate me. Convince me that a VOR course can be held to the
same 10 metre tolerance over 100 NM miles, that it appears a GPS course can.
(Without the GPS in the cockpit for reference, of course.)
