Eh? what's all this ?? !!  To generate a horizon something has to change as 
the aircraft rotates about the longitudinal axis.  A Gps doesn't give any 
change.  If you had two, on the ends of the wings mebbe you could do 
something, but  height resolution, noise levels etc. would have to be superb. 
Perhaps this was what was in the Seneca ?
