GPS: It’s Not Just for Landlubbers
, 05 05th, 2010
When most people think of GPS technology, it’s probably the version made for cars that comes immediately to mind. Still, one could argue that these systems are even more practical for use on boats. When ships and small craft are far from land on an overcast evening, natural navigational clues are scarce indeed. With no lighthouse or constellations to guide them, boaters can drift far off course.
By putting a marine GPS chartplotter at the helm, it’s possible to avoid these problems entirely. GPS can also save the lives of the crew and passengers by alerting them about the presence of rock outcroppings and other treacherous debris that might be waiting in the murky depths. Clearly it’s just as crucial to have easy navigation ability at sea.
