Just tell the FI that if both sets of batteries die, you'll
stop flying visual flight rules and fly IFR--I Follow Railroads.

The joke was that on that particular XC flight, I followed I-5 pretty
much the whole way.
Ground instructor: What is the VOR system?
Me: A stupid, obsolete method of navigation.

Re: GPS
Got the Etrex vista for chrismas. been great so far and has all the bells
and whistles. 24mb of memory for uploading the topo maps. Only thing I
would add is the color screen and the external antena hook up. The garmin
has a unit called the 60cs coming out this month that addresses both of
those.
