With a GPS, you don't need to know much about navigation - you can go to your target, tell it to remember that spot, and then the GPS will give you an arrow pointing back to that spot from wherever you are so you can get back there. (handy for finding a
favorite fishing hole, or for not getting lost in the woods)

I'm not an expert on aircraft navigation, but I imagine fifteen or twenty minutes of life without a functional GPS would cause less chaos than having a jet smack into a crowded building.

Ask M II, he's an expert on most anything. He is, after all, Canadian.

He's worse than a 'rogue state', he's a rogue 'tard boy, much like that David fellow.

Both of them need to spend less time with the 'puter, and more time out in the great outdoors toting their portables.
