but particularly at those working towards RYA Day Skipper, Yachtmaster,

Motor Cruising or Advanced Powerboat certificates, or attending the RYA

Radar course.

Electronics have gained such widespread acceptance over the last

decade that even a modest family cruiser is likely to have an

electronic navigation capability comparable with that of a small

warship of twenty years ago. Using plain English to strip away the

jargon, this book sets out to demystify the technology behind modern

marine electronics, and to explain how the various systems work and how

to get the best out of the equipment available.

The Adlard Coles Book of Electronic Navigation is set to become the definitive book on the subject.

"By stripping away the jargon this book demystifies the technology behind modern marine electronics."
