G.S. I only know a fraction of all there is. I believe that's what makes sailing so awesome. Always something new to learn and pass along! Thanks for your comments!

Nice to recall methods to do this when the GPS suddenly fails. Those who don't carry paper charts will have some difficulty if their GPS screen goes blank. I suppose some kinds of failed plotter might still be able to display the chart even when the boat GPS position can not be verified.
