Though I'm not an instructor and haven't started lessons quite yet, as a student I'd much prefer to learn to navigate without GPS, and then learn how to use the GPS to make it a bit easier when needed. GPS is fine and dandy, but if you can't fly without it then you're not only limiting yourself (what if you wind up needing to fly a plane without it?), but if the GPS fails...you're out of luck.
