Experience the Best Navigation Class with Edmonds Coast Guard Auxiliary!You will use the popular mobile app: "Navionics" (by Garmin). The app is used as an active navigation learning tool throughout the course. It is best to use the app on a tablet, however smartphones work too. We'll start with basics like: what the map colors & symbols mean, the meaning and use of SOG & COG, how to find latitude/longitude, how to download maps, map orientation, how to find distances, how to access tide and current data, and how to create the all-important routes needed for safe cruising. Creating routes on the app means you can do all of your trip planning at home. The app can then serve as a back-up to your boat's marine Chart Plotter (GPS). The course also includes topics, such as: Rules of the Road, Depth Sounder-Keel Offset; Autopilot; Automated Identification System; How to access Marine Weather Forecasts; How to Tune and Use Your Radar's tools; Understanding how to factor in the Tides and Currents of the Pacific NW in your trip planning.
