One of my fears as all the electronics screens get bigger with more information on the displays, it starts becoming like distracted driving. Looking down at just for a couple seconds can be deadly.
I don't think electronics should be to blame. I wouldn't think about fishing at night without my electronics. That's what I use to navigate with. You just have to be very careful. I use a spotlight and my electronics. I stare at my map at least 50% of the time and shine my spotlight out the rest to make sure there are no bouys, boats, debris, etc. There is always that very very small chance that there is someone out there without any lights on. I just hope they never end up on my path.
