Never had a GPS and never ran into problems. Just remember Red Hill is North and red top buoys are hot, sun is in the South. Black buoys, you navigate away from the sun.
I do have a GPS and use it for MPH check. The GPS is way more accurate than the mechanical speedometer on the boat. With the new 6 mph headway speed law, my wake is pretty big! Oh well, the law is the law!
