From Baird Maritime:
Most readers of this review will be well aware of the concept and reality of radar assisted accidents. The same applies to GPS and plotters.
Of course, when you integrate such electronic navigation tools into complex integrated bridge systems you can significantly increase the risk of such accidents. This is particularly so if you don't know what you are doing.
This crisply written, clear and well-illustrated book helps the reader to know what he or she is doing with such equipment. It is both a SWOT analysis of such systems and a very useful manual explaining how to get the best out of them.
Yet another excellent professional mariners text from The Nautical Institute.
