I like the RASTOR for ocean and coastal navigation. However once 'pilotage' waters are entered, whether a Compulsory Pilot is aboard or not, I switch to VECTOR finding more clarity in quick position checks. What do y'all think? It would be interesting to have some comments on that, always open to learning something about maritime affairs.
