Thanks to modern electronic navigation tools, getting from one place to another on the water has never been easier or safer. And thanks to "The Weekend Navigator", learning to use these tools quickly and correctly is now easier than ever! This completely practical, step-by-step guide gets you out on the water quickly and lets you perfect your navigation skills as you enjoy precious hours afloat. Ideal for inland and coastal cruisers, sportfishers, and aspiring recreational boaters, this innovative handbook features an easy-to-use, quick-reference format that helps you operate your GPS, depth sounder, and radar and interpret what they tell you. With the help of over 300 full-colour illustrations, you'll learn how to use your electronics to navigate safely in all conditions, and you'll discover waypoint navigation techniques that let you choose a destination, plot a course, and monitor your progress as you go.You'll also learn how to: plot GPS positions on paper and digital charts; determine the precise range and bearing of your destination; evaluate and compensate for wind and current effects; avoid reefs and other underwater hazards; integrate GPS information with compass courses, visual bearings, dead reckoning, and the other techniques of traditional piloting; and make a seamless transition to chart-and-compass navigation if your electronics fail. "The Weekend Navigator" provides a strong foundation in the time-honoured skills of piloting, and with this book you can practice those skills on the water, using GPS to keep you pointed in the right direction.Praise for Bob Sweet's "GPS for Mariners" includes: "[Sweet] has the solid and fundamental mastery of the subject that lets him guide the reader step by step through the entire system...Nothing is left out, and nothing is wrong." - "Good Old Boat". "Useful for those looking to buy a GPS, as well as current owners who want to use theirs more efficiently...The information is tailored specifically for boaters and boating uses." - Soundings Adopted by the U.S.Coast Guard Auxiliary for its GPS seminars.Bob Sweet has more than thirty years' experience in boating and the electronics industry.
