Default The Proper Nav Station

Have a look at the nav station on the 35s5...


Looks like wasted space too me. A Garmin with map display in the cockpit is
more than adequate for motoring in the LIS. Add a backup GPS driving a laptop
down below for backup on more distant excursions. Get a plastic chart of LIS and
use it for a table cloth in the galley - handier for determining a course than
zooming around on the laptop and you can impress folks by keeping position on it
in grease pencil. Of course if you're into nostalgia .......
