Not required, but highly recommended. For VFR you can't beat the Garmin
296. It will tell you everything you need to know - and then some.

Thanks Martha. How would you fly otherwise? For more context, I have
never been at the controls of any non-RC aircraft before. |

I don't know, but people seem to have been doing just fine for the
last , what, 90 years of flight before we had GPS.

Do people use Jeppesen charts, or would a good gazetteer do? |

Before flying you should always consult a sectional chart and call
1800WXBRIEF to see if there are any TFRs in the area. In addition to
that a good gazetteer is fine.
I use a simple and cheap GPS (Garmin 12).
