I was directing my comments at aircraft electronics though.
Handheld GPS isn't aviation. (not purposely anyway)

Oh, I appreciate that! I didn't mean to suggest that an F-15 pilot
punch the scroll button on a Garmin III+.

(As it happens, the Garmin III+ is what I use for navigation. But at
2900 feet and 60 knots, I have a perfectly adequate fail-safe
mechanism in the sectional chart on my right thigh.)

See www.pipercubforum.com/garmin.htm for the high-tech rig.
