Ah! So you're claiming that a GPS isn't really a GPS unless it has a
chartplotter, or two. Sorry, I didn't understand. And you know
you're being set because that little picture of a boat keeps drifting
off to one side. This is completely different from using RDF and
compass, where the compass bearing will keep shifting to one side.



Any GPS that has a DISPLAY is, by definition, a chart plotter. I don't
know of a single, cheap, even handheld GPS that doesn't have a plotter I
can put a waypoint into. There's none on the Raymarine Raystar 120, as
it's a feeder GPS for the Seatalk network, which has a display, which is a
chartplotter.....

NO RDF has any kind of a plotter I ever saw. It points to the station on
the null, duhh..

Why are we having this stupid troll? RDF is useless, now, a waste of
space. Use it to weight down the trash when you dump it overboard.

No, I don't have an astrolabe aboard, either!
