It's concerning to know there are boaters out there on the water (not you
Steve - I mean your friends and others) who do not realize the importance of
having backup instrumentation, and alternate means of navigating.
Imagine being out in fog (or darkness), losing ones GPS and having no speed
or depth because they thought the GPS would just "take care of all that".

I went through a lot of trouble to install an ST40 speed instrument (and a
depth one) on my boat last year. My friends were all "forget about that, use
a GPS". I figured it would be useful when trimming the sails, instant
feedback. I'm happy to hear others have the same perspective.
