Boater Ed offers a electronics course, I have been wanting to increase my skill level with my Garmin 3010C/2010C Plotters/GPS/Radar. Would this be a good course to acomplish that goal or are there others that cover more of what I am looking for?
Input will be appreciated
Thanks

I didn't know there was a training video! What a great idea!
 
I took both Coastal and Electronic Navigation courses from Les/BoaterEd and it was a great pleasure learning experience, the best part is I can pick my own odd spare time at any time I wanted, I always wanted to learn on how to navigate and how to reading Nautica Chart but between my daily job and family/kids and dog, I rarely have anytime and energy left for me to go to school, Les/BoaterEd made it happened, I completed both courses on my own odd time and yes, I do know what the numbers and "R" "G" on the chart means too ;0).

For those that want to learn how to navigate and reading chart but have no time for, I'd highly recommend it.
 
First I am buying the Garmin for the buttons, but then as a Great Lakes boater which should I get the electronic navigation or the coastal course?

The coastal one. I'm going to discontinue the electronics course until I get a chance to rewrite it.
 
Thanks,
That will work for me.

A nice book on the subject is called the "Weekend navigator". It covers the uses of GPS, Radar and such.
 
"I'd suggest the Coastal Navigation course."

Les, I've looked for it ( several times ) but have been unable to find it... got a link?

I went to Boatfix and ordered Coastal Navigation, the Garmin DVD and two handhelds i had been thinking about. I plan on doing a serious upgrade of my boating knowledge and this looks like a good place to start. I had to wait till the Bears squeaked out a win over Seattle to place my order. Next week it will be the Saints, not a giveme for sure.
