It just navigated the flight directly and precisely to the point of impact. Of course, it s up to pilots to use the tools intelligently. Use a hammer to drive nails or hit your thumb the tool is the same. On many of my Piper Cub cross-countries, there were times where my exact or even the general location was somewhat in doubt. Good landmarks and decent visibility were highly prized.
Pilotage is an inexact science and it requires effort.
I can understand how one could be seduced to the dark side by knowing, without ground reference, exactly how far they were from West Nowhere and all the surrounding airports. There are other boxes in the panel that pilots trust too much. A few of us know someone who uses the autopilot to keep them alive. My acquaintance was a successful gentleman who kept a pristine Bonanza for trips to his beach house about an hour s flight away. He was not instrument-rated but always managed to get out and back, despite grubby weather.
