Erm, yeah that thought of the deviation did occur to me, but I decided I wasn't ever so bothered in coastal waters. I used the GPS nearly all of the time, and if that ever gave up, I know the compass (and my chart work) was accurate enough to get me safely to where I wanted to be given such short distances. That, and for all but a few legs I could see land anyway. Will check out the site. Glad my misery could be of service :)
