course description
Weekend Navigator is an interactive, Zoom-based, USCG Auxiliary course that is designed to teach you how to navigate safely, primarily by using today's technology. You will use the popular "Navionics – Boating Marine & Lakes"mobile app on your tablet (best) - or smartphone - as an active learning tool. We'll start with basics like: latitude/longitude, what the map colors & symbols mean, the meaning and use of SOG & COG and much more. You will practice the all-important ‘how-to create routes’ right on the app, so you can do all of your trip planning at home. The app can then serve as a back-up to your boat's marine Chartplotter (GPS). We continue with topics, such as: Rules of the Road, Depth Sounder; Autopilot; AIS; Marine Weather Forecasts; How to Use Your Radar; Understanding how to factor in the Tides and Currents of the Pacific NW in your trip planning. Join us … and become a smarter, safer boater.
