The comment from Paul Jackson regarding reliance on GPS brings the following to mind. The article was an interesting read.
As Murphy said, Anything that can go wrong will. Otherwise, re ocean voyages, carry a sextant, add to that your favorite tables sounds like a good idea, the more one thinks about it, the better it sounds.
Then there is the KISS principle too. A sextant and that favorite set of tables, add a quartz watch or G Shock if you fancy Casio sounds pretty simple to me.
