In navigation classes it was repeatedly stated .. the chartplotter might fail, the chart might be wrong, you need to know how to pilot without electronic aids.
For those who may wish to disregard this advice the attached photo might bring chills. The chartplotter (Raymarine C70, using Navionics Gold charts) has the boat somewhere between the Plaza and the medical clinic in down town San Blas, when we were at the time crossing the bar at the entrance to the Estuario de Pozo.

Does anyone have a line on whether other charts are more accurate?

Sure glad we didn´t do this at night.
