Thanks!
Hope JF install something close to original GPS.
Strange how they close VORs -
Back in the old days GPS in 737/767 was secondary and could fly with unservicable GPS.
GPS is controlled by military and can be moved/shut down.
While VOR is controlled by civil authority.
Up in Northern Norway Russian occasionally jam GPS - Widerøe have to navigate by old school VOR causing delays.@eker until very recently, the 737 and 767 ran on an INS. Not a GPS. So this makes no sense at all. Russians weren’t jamming INS

No doubt (qualified guess) F28 used the same INS system as Fokker F50. (licensed tech course on F50).
Calibrating updating INS during flight, the system preferred at least 2 DME for triangular calculation, secondary VOR direction. Least preferred was GPS. Great to pinpoint a place on earth but not altitude. The slant range is better with DME/VOR calculation for altitude.For me - I keep the F28 as is - and wait for F70 and F100.
