As long as the paper maps and your instruments are accurate, that's perfectly legitimate.
There's no guarantee that a random GPS you built yourself is anywhere near accurate, doesn't have random edge cases, etc. That's problematic when there's a high density of other aircraft containing hundreds of people around.
Not saying it's not legal, it just surprises me because the FAA is usually really cautious.
