Fifteen years ago it was a great tool, in spite of the space that the board took up. While GPS displays will never be as large as the charts used on the Yeoman, I think GPS Nav-programs made the plotter-boards obsolete a long time ago. It might still appeal to anyone who appreciates being able to work on a chart, having most of the tools of a nav-system available at the board versus changing miniature GPS display screens all the time
