The takeaway for me is that anytime we leave the main marked channel, cross check the route on both raster AND vector chart as we go. We already have both available. I do that now but not at the same time. I plan my route in the morrning on the paper chartbook. Enroute, I mainly just use the Garmin chartplotter. I realize I have been relying on the STAR principle (Shoot That Ain't Right!) to keep me out of trouble. I have to force self compliance until it becomes habit. Then, once a habit, don't allow persceived time pressure to take a shortcut.
