If I get one I would have to fly it at least to Utah but more likely all the way to Nevada.

How much are fishing rod tubes, or should I just make one?

These days, GPS makes it much worse.  Around 20 years ago, a
mid-air collision happened up in your neck of the woods out in the
middle of nowhere, and we all learned about the dangers of precise
tracking between well-known GPS waypoints.  The pilots in this case
were very precise in their altitude and tracking.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if everyone set their track on route one mile right of the popular one?

That's exactly what we do in Oceanic Airspace - 1 or 2 miles right of Airway Centerline. Opposite direction traffic does the same so we have lateral separation and vertical separation. It's called SLOP (Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure).
Good explanation below.
I have seen the radio altimeter activate as aircraft pass [b]exactly [/b]below us. Navigation accuracy is measured in [b]metres [/b]using an Inertial system with GPS updating.
