I bought my first boat, a 28' sailboat in 1982. I learned navigation with charts and rulers in 1979. In my present boat, a 42 Trawler I have a networked Raymarine system on the flybridge and the lower pilot station.
What I also have is a full set of charts in the areas that I will be traveling. In addition I have depth sounders that are independent of my charting package. So, if my Raymarine system fails, I break out the charts, hang my hand bearing compass around my neck and sharpen my pencil.
