Only a plumber would think the electric map machine could be tended by a motor mechanic (especially one whose co-contraption with a railway engineer called Shortt engineered a timepiece that proved the astronomers' suspicions that Mother earth was not a good timekeeper, well - 'Mother' how could she be)

Rather appropriately this relied on the hit or miss principle. More, I am afraid, hit in the case of ECDIS. Despite much generic and specific STCW directed training.

You are probably right. It will work better if operated from a steamer chair (now he'll be off worrying if it uses too much water and YM how much extra shoveling he'll have to do).
