Default How do you find the limits of areas on a chart?

Two sentences from this notice: "It appears airmen are failing to use
basic VFR navigation and map reading skills. Instead, in most
circumstances, they are using GPS devices to navigate to and from Las
Vegas, NV.".

I've only flown the Beaty/Tonopah VFR corridor once. It took about 15
seconds with the charts to learn that all I needed to do to avoid this
restricted airspace was to stay west of highway 95. There was no need to
have a GPS, loran, VOR, or ADF to avoid penetrating the multiple
restricted
airspaces north of Nellis.

I got that notice also, too many people hit "direct" on the GPS and then
never look at a chart.
Not all handheld GPS will have the airspace, especially if it is a cheap
"not intended for aviation" handheld.
