I'm not a pilot, but on a clear day I can pretty much figure out where we are by looking out the side window. Having flown HSV-DTW many many times I know what Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, the Ohio river, Toledo and other landmarks look like. If you can see freeways and have a map you could navigate. I don't see GPS receivers as any kind of threat.
