[worldcruising] Electronic Charts systems


Subject: [worldcruising] Electronic Charts systems

Hi,
As we know there are two common ways in having an electronic chart
plotter on board. One is based on using a PC or laptop and the other
based on a dedicated chart plotter.

My experience with the failure in Win 95 and Win 98 is making me very
nervous on using just the software on a laptop.

What is the reliability of the dedicated chart plotters using C-Map?

My intention is not to rely only on the electronics, so I will carry
some paper charts however I am not planning to use a sextant based on
my experience on GPS system

Appreciate any inputs.
