I have a full scale paper chart of Penobscot Bay.
In Response To: You just changed your argument ()
In the upstairs hallway of my house....
I like it there for dreaming but because I'm so acclimated to screens(CAD work, photography, reading, navigating), the paper chart - and all it's needed layers of other charts -, it's too clunky for me to use navigating onboard, anymore.
I find just the opposite on this paper vs electronic nit pick: Mary Ann insists on buying the print version of the NYT's occasionally. When I see the images on the paper, I just roll my eyes. What a waste of a tree.

- All good points, again...
- Unlocked CMap
- This navigational error looked typical to me from the start. There is only one thing that still surprises me.
- Yeah, but the VOR ain't your run-of-the-mill Oyster Millenium RTW Rally, however... (grin)

- That restriction seems to be all about phone communication

- I will dispute your point #1...
- Pull up a raster chart of that entire ocean
- I did not dispute that, just your point #1.
- I would need to see an actual example
- It is not a matter of resolution, it is presentation and cognition...

- I did not change (read it again ) - mainly arguing number of pixels i.e. information.
