Autor uczy, jak prowadzić nawigację przy użyciu nowoczesnych narzędzi i metod, w tym najnowszych technologii, jak np. smartfony, nie zapominając jednak, że nawigacja elektroniczna opiera się na tradycyjnych mapach i umiejętności nawigowania. Łącząc tradycyjne metody z nowoczesną techniką, daje czytelnikowi solidne podstawy do opanowania sztuki nawigacji. Książka w języku angielskim.
