Not neccessary, you can enter in way points along the route and the screen shows your position, the direction you are travelling and the line to your next way point and the direction you should be travelling.

All you need is to keep the boat(or in the case of an aircraft, the aircraft) on that line on the screen and in the right direction and it will take you to your destination. No compass readings, no checking map locations and ground references, no using the VOR/DME navigational aids that pilots have been using for 40 years, just fly the plane in the direction the GPS says to fly it and when those talest structures in Manhattan come into sight just aim the plane at them.

You really do not have any idea at all as to how easy a GPS is to use do you. It is no more complicated than a high end digital camera really. The instruction manual that comes with it is about 30 pages long.

I have personally been in a boat on a large lake with many channels and islands with the owner of the boat who had entered his destination and the channels he wished to use to get there and at full throttle we went to that spot. Neither of us had ever been on that lake before in our lives. All he had to do was check his position on the screen to ensure he was on track and the rest of the time he just looked through the window to make sure he avoided all other boats.

A bullet has a pointed tip, a soft nosed fireglass fronted plane doesn't.
In WW2, the Japs made the mistake of sending Kamikaze planes against the wooden decks of US carriers. They forgot to put a pointy bit on the front. The Kamkaze planes that did hit, spread themselves out across the deck.
You need a pointy bit on the front. No pointy bit = no entry.

ETA: did the jaqpanese put the pointed tip on the plane that did this?

Is this a GPS our hijacker carried aboard or the one in the plane?

Tell that to the USS Columbia.

The plane and its bomb penetrated two decks before exploding, killing 13 and wounding 44, putting her after turrets out of action, and setting the ship afire. [emphasis added --MdC]
