Nicely done, really helped my understand the electronics much better
loved the animations !
Wasn't aware of how "electronics" dependent I was until I had to do it myself
good explanations of how electronic navigation operates.
excellent review of all aspects of navigation, radar, AIS, and the plotter. Great confidence builder.
Learn about Polar Plot and Layline. It was new to me.
Very informative and a bit tough...
Nice animation on GPS Menu navigation example
This is solid education on chart plotters - no unnecessary fluff around navigation basics, this course assumes you've already got that down. There's a portion of the course and exam on Polars, which feels like it belongs in a racing course as it has nothing to do with the chart plotter, but it's not bad information to have; just superfluous.
Lots of detail on the physics of sailing, terminology and the art of placing a sailboat exactly where you set to put it.
Excellent class, lots of valuable info
Interactive guides
This GPS interactive animation will show you that you can easily view the tide for your area.
Click on the image then follow the red square touch points to run the animation. Module 7 has 20 such animations to help you get into the workings and really understand such a device. By the time you complete this Module alone, you'll have full confidence in operating a GPS chart plotter with multiple sensors networked in.
At MIT's sailing program, we use the NauticEd Skipper course to make sure everybody gets a good understanding of the fundamentals before taking practical classes. It's a great timesaver and lets the sailors learn the classroom material at their own pace.
