I am a flight instructor. I love GPS as it makes life easier. I also have a real map. I like the GPS as it tells me were to go with precision. It also tells me a lot of other things that are not on the map. GPS is good!

I like my magnetic compass even more. When the GPS tells me where to go I do not have to punch a screen to know where to go next. I do refer to the GPS as needed. If the GPS went “tits up dead” I will arrive safely at my destination via a map and compass.

If flying IFR you are totally dependent on electronics.

I wouldn’t say totally dependent. Don’t you still need an IFR map? Or do the new GPS have a moving map display? It’s been 15 year since I have flown.

I presume you use Foreflight (or the equivalent)... not sure if sectionals are even printed anymore. My map backup is using Foreflight, only instead of an ipad, on my iphone.
