I guess if you can see land you can match things up. Yes, just punch in your destination and follow the course line to it. But, you have to watch the depths which are also listed on the electronic chart to make sure you don't run aground trying to follow a straight line to your destination. If the depths are dubious just zig and zag the course line and steer to waypoints to avoid such hazards. It shows depth too? Well, I guess then I'd have to know what is too shallow. If it weren't for modern conveniences such as these then the likes of a Bruce in Bangkok, for example, probably would have never gotten out of the home port harbor. LOL! I'd love to share it with you, but I'm kind of hesitant about sharing with the whole world... Maybe email me and I'll send you the link? I don't blame you. I just sent you an e-mail. I'll check later on. I've got to go exercise for a while. Very stressful day! Good on you, Jessica! Excellent mental outlook - rid yourself of stress by exercising. Turn unproductive into productive. I wish more people had your healthy attitude. Instead, most people, when they're stressed out, end up eating or drinking. That's the worst thing they can do. I can be stressed out about something and then go for a long, hard, bike ride and it gives me a chance to think things through and, combined with the physical exertion and endorphins in the brain, it puts everything in the proper perspective.
