I started a post similar in fashion to this one previously, but I am curious how most of you plan your trips? Many said electronically by some means (either software or google earth, etc). Now what do you rely on most for tracking during that trip?
Do you rely on your GPS or charts for the cruise? I know most carry charts as a backup, but do you rarely refer to them?
Several ways have been posted for trip planning that range from either programming the entire trip into the gps via lat/long coordinates or by physically drawing them on the gps as well as drawing the route on tracing paper/charts and plotting your course bearings, etc.
Again, I'm just curious how most of you plan and what you use mostly during the cruise.
