  • Navigating with Today’s Technologies – Now Available On Demand

    If you missed the live online course with Ed Tillett of Waterway Guide, the replay is now available.

    This online course takes a practical look at how modern navigation tools support smart seamanship. From chartplotters and AIS to radar overlays and mobile apps, Ed walks through how to use technology intentionally, not passively.

    One participant shared:

    “Stressing the importance of planning versus navigating as complementary, but different, protocols. Also, the importance of having multiple aids. Integration across platforms was also a highlight for us.”

    That really sums up the heart of this session. Planning and navigating are not the same thing. Redundancy matters. And understanding how your systems talk to each other can make a real difference when it counts.

    If you rely on onboard tech, this is a valuable watch.

    After you watch, let us know. What does your navigation setup look like today, and what changes are you considering?
