Was browsing through an article in Sail magazine the other week, Patrick Childress recounting, in some nice detail, cruising down the coast of Mexico somewhere at night --the article nicely detailed how he used various methods to determine where he was as compared to where he thought he was based on his charts (radar image, hearing breakers/waves in distance, lat/long, etc.)

Anyway --the article made mention of his plotter allowing him to move the position of the land so that it synchronized with where his radar was showing him that land actually was, i.e., since in some areas in Mexico (as elsewhere in the world) the charted location of land is sometimes/often different from where it actually is.

Is this a function on the newer multi-function GPS/radar, etc. plotter displays? I'm not interested getting in a multi-function display, for various reason (mainly b/c of a desire to avoid electronic complexity, and b/c I can't afford it!), but I really like the idea of this function. Anyone know?

At night, sailing where he was, it sounded like a pretty good thing to have on the plotter.
