ADVANCED NAVIGATION


Navigation has changed since the “old days” when navigators plotted a course relying on dead-reckoning and seeing a buoy was a bonus. Today we have Global Positioning Systems (GPS) which have become common and affordable. Today with a couple of hundred dollars and two AA batteries you can find your position anywhere on the face of the earth. While electronics can be very helpful, easy to use, and accurate, they can break or quit. Knowing how to navigate with electronics is useful, and knowing how to navigate the traditional way using dividers, parallel rulers, and a compass could make the difference between survival and a catastrophe.

The Coast Guard Auxiliary's Basic and Advanced Navigation courses both use the textbook WEEKEND NAVIGATOR. The Basic Navigation Course is designed to give the student the rudiments of navigation by using GPS, and the back up skill of navigation using charts, navigation plotting tools, and dead-reckoning. The intent is to provide the student with a solid foundation with emphasis on technique and not blind reliance on electronics. GPS will be mentioned and discussed as it relates to plotting waypoints, etc. The Advanced Navigation course covers the use of GPS and other electronic devices in more technical detail as well as some more sophisticated traditional navigation skills as back-ups. An added segment covers fuel management, which is the final crucial issue for all power boat navigation.
