Default Re: Going Direct

On that subject, I've been given direct routings (without me asking) to navaids a 100 miles away, or to random intersections when I wasn't on an airway. This is in slant Uniform aircraft. Is ATC just used to slant Golfs or better and overlook my lack of equipment to go direct?

When I tell them unable, slant U, they usually say "oh... okay..." and clear me somewhere I can actually navigate to. But it seems like they they didn't know I didn't have a GPS or something.
