Am I becoming a dinosaur by holding on to my paper chart and deck compass and never planning on giving them up? A GPS is a very useful tool. I simply get a kick out of doing it all on paper and by eye. Especially the eye part. Makes me feel more connected to whats going on around me. Oh......and I am cheap too. If you gave me a GPS I would play with it although I would still prefer to do locations and crossings manually. I rarely paddle far enough to need to plot a course.
