Since GPS Chart plotters have become the norm for navigation the question of accurate display of the real charts has been a question. One habit I have got into over the past is when I go into a new area I always buy a updated paper chart to check things out. I have noticed on several friends GPS's that certain obstructions and soundings did not appear, which would ruin your day of boating. Thinking about this I always wanted to get the most popular Chart Plotters together to check accuracy of the displayed chart. I have found a site that has done that and the answer to the question of accuracy. NO not all GPS Chart Plotter display an accurate representation of obstructions and soundings. In the light of promoting safe boating here is the web site =
