Critics Review
“Pat Manley gives the reader a detailed overview of all the systems currently in use, from GPS to AIS, and describes how each system works, how to use it and how to get the best out of it. However, the author highlights the danger of over-reliance on such electronic tools and points out some of their shortcomings. He also stresses the importance of having at least some knowledge of traditional navigation.” (Noonsite, June 2010) “A useful companion for the modern sailor who wants to navigate their way through the seas.” (Boat Mart, August 2008) “The definitive guide to cruising in the West Country, this latest edition includes all the most recent updates” (Sailing Today, July 2008) “…Pat Manley, has 10 million miles of navigation under his belt, making him eminently qualified to produce this new guide”. “Electronic and traditional navigation explained - with free online simulators.” (Boat Mart, December 2008)
