Beautifully illustrated manual on traditional navigation, electronic navigation and
celestial navigation. What distiguishes this book from the majority is the short,
concentrated text backed up by over 120 colour graphics.
It is very important to obtain a basic understanding of traditional navigation using
paper charts, compass, dividers, plotter, log and echosounder so you can spot any
malfunctioning or incorrect use of the electronic equipment installed!
Navigation using GPS, Chart Plotter and Radar is becoming easier and safer. But
many accidents at sea could have been avoided with just a little knowledge of
traditional navigation and how charts are made.
