[. . . ] Warning: Important Notes This highly accurate navigation device should not be used as a substitute for traditional navigation methods. Never depend solely on this device for navigating. Connecting a GPS or DGPS receiver to a peripheral navigation device (auto-pilot, video plotter) should, under no circumstances, exempt the mariner from demonstrating prudence and keeping constant watch. Electronic charts such as the GPS are navigation aids that should, under no circumstances, be substituted for regulatory navigation methods.
