NauticEd's New Electronic Navigation Course is now available and I love it! If you’re considering chartering a bareboat, do local/long-distance cruising and you would like to brush up on your navigational skills and technology, then this is the course for you. The Electronic Navigation course is made up of 8 modules and it introduces and brings back some of the basics that you should already be familiar with in regards to navigation. It will also help you gain the confidence, working knowledge and user experience, through various animations, to fully work a chart plotter device and apply this to your sailing navigation. It introduces technologies such as AIS, RADAR and Weather GRIBS and electronic chart overlays. No matter if you are a beginner or a master, we guarantee you'll learn some really cool hi-tech stuff and some essential stuff. However, Grant Headifen the Director of Education for Nauticed, emphasizes that electronic navigation is an aid to the good sailor’s senses but can not replace them. No matter if you are a beginner or a master, we guarantee you'll learn some really cool hi-tech stuff and at only $29, it's a fantastic value.
