Title of this thread is Chart VS GPS!!!

It should not be a case of one VS. the other.

Learning Chart navigation is a must. Dead reckoning. Plotting a course. Use of parallel rules, and compass that is fixed on the boat, and calibrated. Pair of decent binoculars. The effects of wind and current on your boat's travel.

Other tools, one is GPS unit, should be considered a supplement.
