Paper Charts vs. Electronic Devices-True Story
Posted by hollybudd
Got a story for you. My sister, Robin, goes to boat shows to sell our Williams & Heintz Cruising Guides, nautical chartbooks of Maryland and Virginia waterways. This last week she was in Richmond. Her booth was right next to a vendor of electronic navigation equipment. At the end of the show, he bought a case of chartbooks, to give to his customers, who purchase expensive electronic navigation systems for their boats. He wants them to have them for planning and as a backup.
Just goes to show that electronic devices are not replacing printed products, but they complement each other, and make each more effective.
