Hope you have many more contributions to make. HOWEVER, you should be aware that Nav-L is devoted to NON-ELECTRONIC methods of navigation. Though mention of the GPS alternative is by no means forbidden where it's relevant, and many list members (I bet) navigate their boats that way in practice, what you have just said is rather akin to farting in church.
