On the intercoastal, I have very good luck in using the combination of lorance and GPS. Lorance is far more accurate than GPS. Radar and the new AIS is a godsend when visibility is poor or does nor exist.

Thank you NoRegrets. You are speaking from experience.
Isn't Lowrance a brand of GPS? What is Lorance?
