There are far too many changes to our airspace occurring that a chart every six months is not enough of an update. A GPS subscription gives you updates once or twice a month, just like instrument approach charts. Especially on the East Coast, and up to the Mississippi River, our airspace needs the technology for long flights anyway. Otherwise you better get a very detailed flight briefing, which is now going to cost you money since that is now privatized. More accurate and cheaper than a LORAN is the SP200 and similar radios that double as VOR receivers. You get a radio and nav in one. I have used it many times to fly airways and even shoot non-precision approaches when I thought the CDI might be going bad. Gives a display just like the King transceiver does with the digital CDI. Combine with GPS and you have the same positional awareness as an airliner. Also new GPS units are being made to be able to receive the new WAAS system information which will allow you to receive real time weather while in flight. Great for us VFR KR drivers. Also just as a side note, remember that ANY aircraft regardless of where MUST have a transponder/encoder installed and working, on altitude encoding or Mode C when above 10,000 feet unless you happen to also be within 2500 feet of the ground (AGL - like crossing a mountain range where you climbed up and will descend on the other side, or elevation stays that high, and you are just that low). Going to get the airplane today to mount the motor mount....

The temperature was 46°, ceiling was 3000' agl and the winds were 15 mph straight down the runway out of the west. This would be the first flight in such cool temps since last April and I was anxious to fly. I arrived the hanger and did a preflight, climbed in and immediately closed the canopy because it was rather cool behind the prop blast. Just four days ago, I was sweating while sitting in the cockpit. For some reason the engine seemed to really run smooth. It must like the cool temps. Anyway, I pulled up to the threshold of 29, announced my intentions and firewalled her. She picked up speed fast and at 65, I rotated and she started climbing like a homesick angel. With the 15 mph headwind and cool temps, I was at pattern altitude as I turned on downwind from crosswind. Wow, that was awesome! I stayed on downwind and finally announced and turned base, dropped half speed brake and turned final. About a half mile out I dropped full speed brake and settled in for a very short roll out. I actually had to apply power to get to the turn off. I taxied back to 29 and took off again and headed away from the airport to play around at 2500' agl just below the clouds. An hour later I was back on the ground putting the KR away with another 1.2 hours to log. I can not express how much I love flying the KR but I guess that is rather obvious. YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Larry you have got to set the dates for the 2006 Gathering so I can start the countdown.
