Garmin 276C at the helm, Garmin 182C at the nav table, radar at the nav. PC 
running OpenCPN at the nav when we're doing serious multi-day cruising, GPS 
antenna hidden behind panels. Android phone running Navionics. Spare GPS in the 
ditch bag. 

Most days, it's just the 276C. Navionics on the phone is the cost winner, hands 
down.

We’re in Vancouver BC, Georgia Straight can get foggy, tides come and go and 
we’re new at this. We have no GPS on our new to us 1981 C&C 30 and very little 
in the way of navigation other than dead reckoning, basic familiarity with the 
area and a compass at the helm. It’s fun because it’s like we just purchased a 
1981 C&C and technology isn’t around yet. However every sail is a guessing game 
and I’d like to hear what others use for costal navigation. Whether it’s real 
tangible maps, a GPS system you swear by or an iPad with some software curious 
to hear what other C&C owners use to get find their way.
