GPS
I fly light aircraft.
A long running debate in that arena is the use of charts and traditional navigation techniques.
There is a school of thought, to which I subscribe, that charts should / can be assigned to the flight bag to gather dust. The aircraft I fly is all "glass" - in other words two screens display all the information I require including charts driven by twin GPS.
For long distance sailing can the same be said? It seems to me with kit like Raymarine's E series driven by GPS with another backup there is very little need for traditional navigation techniques and while there is a risk in extreme of it all failing presumably the risk is very small.
What do people think?
