When can a a navigation rule be overlooked?

Navigation rules can be overlooked when the skipper of a vessel judges that the risk of collision is reduced to an acceptable level and that following the rules would cause greater risk than not following them. This can happen when the vessels are well aware of each other's location, speed, and course and have adequate sea room. In this case the skipper can decide to deviate from the rule of the road.

Navigation rules can also be overlooked when it is not practical to follow them due to the size or movement of the vessel. For example, very large vessels may not be able to turn quickly enough to avoid a collision or may take up too much space in a narrow channel. In these cases, it may be necessary to deviate from the navigation rules in order to safely navigate the waters.

Finally, navigation rules can be overlooked when they conflict with other laws or regulations. For example, when sailing in the presence of whales or other endangered species, the skipper may be required to slow down or change course to ensure the safety of the wildlife. In this case, the skipper may decide to overlook the navigation rules in order to comply with the regulations.

Overall, navigation rules can be overlooked when the skipper feels that the risk of collision is minimized and that following the rules would create greater risk than not following them. However, the skipper should always use their judgement and carefully consider the situation before deviating from the navigation rules.

Yes. In fact, because many satellites orbit our earth, Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) systems work anywhere in the world, as long as there is an unobstructed view of the sky.

Travel outside of the country will require the purchase of location-specific maps.

How many satellites does Tom Tom GPS use?

Every GPS unit needs a minimum of four (4) satellites to compute a
