Won't speak to whether a seaman can trust it (I do). Just curious what he thinks all the airplanes are using, same system. While the accuracy is exceptional compared to loran, one is still limited by the interface between the map on your plotter and your very accurate position from GPS. The ability to turn the system off or increase a substantial error, exist in the event of a pending missile strike. If it were to have been turned off or accuracy altered as a preparedness test, the accidental deaths associated with it, would have been headline news for weeks.
