Description:
For centuries, the sextant, the compass and the chart were basic tools for navigating. Translating positions and bearings to a paper chart were time consuming, difficult to perform and simply inaccurate. In this century, more sophisticated techniques have been developed for position-finding, such as LORAN, Satellite Navigation and Global Positioning Systems. Today, a new technology has evolved that at last combines chart reading with position-finding, making navigating easier and more exact. This is the new world of electronic charting!
