What is one disadvantage of paper charts in E-NAV?

One significant disadvantage of paper charts in electronic navigation is that they cannot be updated electronically. This limitation means that any changes in navigational data, such as updates to nautical charts due to alterations in coastlines, hazards, or buoy placements, must be made manually. Navigators rely on the most current information for safe navigation, and given that paper charts need to be physically altered or replaced with new versions, it can lead to outdated information being used if regular updates are not diligently maintained. In contrast, electronic charts can be updated easily and quickly, ensuring navigators have access to the latest information without the hassle of manual changes.
