Not very versed in navigation (although father of some horrible
navigation errors), I have to agree with Craig, again, that sextants
are bad enough onboard a rolling, stamping, sailboats. Far worse than
a kayak, any day!

So a compass, and a GPS, makes life much easier - and many GPSs makes a
compass redundant! 

The day WW III starts we'll have other issues than the precision of
GPSs to worry about!
