The only charts I have on Xmas, are place mats.
In Response To: I haven't used my paper charts since 2001 ()
Not trying to be funny. 
It's just that all my navigating is on the screens now. There's no way I can keep my position on a paper chart with the type of sailing I do. But I still have friends that like to pilot on the paper using their GPS co-ordinates. Still works.
