Hopefully you aren't a ship's navigator.

GPS units are nice, but I think it is dangerous to create a generation
of military personnel, pilots, or ship crews that cannot navigate
without them.

Convienient, fine... but I think you can see that a ship traveling
without a capable non-GPS navigator in a GPS blackout is a pretty
dangerous thing.
