my advice would be to use the gps. Learn the code for the airport your heading to, and program it in, it will draw a green line to your destination just follow that. I will let someone explain how to do that in detail as i cant really put it into words.
Hope that helps a little

I'd skip learning the GPS and follow the lessons on instrument navigation. It adds a much more realistic feel to it, and honestly, it's not THAT hard once you get the hang of it!

My point is that although GPS will get you to destination it will never teach you navigation. I suggest you leave GPS for when you will have mastered traditional navigation. I would suggest to start with VOR-to-VOR navigation (go through the VOR usage of the FS Ground School) and gradaully inolve NDBs, Intersections and navigational maps. If you search for VOR and NDB navigation posts in this forums you will find many with useful URLs.

Here is one

I liked this one very much because it also discusses the history of navigation, how VORs evolved, etc. Very interesting.

The lessons are the way to go here just take them in order and you will learn a lot do not try to start in middle some where as you need to know the basics before you can start the intermeadiate. It is like trying to learn times talbles with out first having learned how to add. 8)

With a good Atlas to locate landmarks, geographic features and estimate headings and FS's scenery detail, you'd be surprised how well you can do. Wink
