PaulSS has pretty much saved me typing the same thing, totally agree! It is frustrating to see this attitude continue where it seems folk think their eye sight is the be all and end all - smacks of “I dont like it so it must be rubbish”.
Total accept it is not without its danger of distraction if not used properly (audio feed is a great addition to help, tho possibly from SD rather than PAW which is a little more selective) and the more users the better as indeed not everyone has something to see. But those that continue to harp on about it just being a distraction clearly don't use any of their instruments in the cockpit nor bother with one of those distracting GPS devices as they clearly have superior abilities above us mere mortals.
Think of it as visual acquisition assistance, its part of the tool kit, not the replacement. Seems some folk think it means turning on the Autopilot and EC device and going to sleep the way they try to have us believe that all you need is a good look out.
I guess these same nay sayers must not use SatNav in car’s either as the road signs are perfectly adequate and you might be distracted from reading them if your TomTom spoke to you!?
