Extract

There is a great sense of movement and progress in navigation today. The excitement lies in the ability to do things which were not possible with traditional media or at best were difficult and time-consuming to achieve. So this paper is not about the desirability nor the timescale of the ECDIS (Electronic Chart and Display Information System) replacing paper charts for primary navigation. It is about the flexibility and creative power opened up by new technology.
