Like I said, learn to navigate with map and compass.


Years ago I worked with a guy who served on a cruiser. He said that routinely did trial where they turned off satellite assisted navigation and went 72 hrs + by hand calculations. He said they would routinely be writhing a few hundred yards of actual location when they turned navigation back on.

This was in the 90. Would assume this is still done.
