Re: Paper Charts Now Unnecessary

Actually in the true sense it is used to estimate your position before taking a fix. Thus starting the cycle again of using dead reckoning, nothing to do with landmarks at all.

It is quite simply...

Re: Paper Charts Now Unnecessary

I love when navigating tight channels etc is brought up and the enevitable story of a bad "gps" location causing someone to run aground.

Bet you the gps is more accurate and the position updated...

Re: Paper Charts Now Unnecessary

And of course those with the ability to do so can print charts for their intending journey and harbours, (including back up loactions, anchorages etc) in whatever size they like with as much or...

Re: Paper Charts Now Unnecessary

Ican use a sextant and dead reckoning, choose not to. Prefer to enjoy the sailing. How many ships have been lost over the years with experienced and professional crews?

Re: Paper Charts Now Unnecessary

Re: Paper Charts Now Unnecessary

Re: Paper Charts Now Unnecessary

They carry runway charts with approaches, very different. Lightening strikes are still very much a risk as is engine failure.

I like paper charts, but use electronics aswell. I find the debate a...
