The problem is that they're removing analogue redundancies. Sure gps can tell them where they are and where to go, but what if that computer breaks down at sea, or something happens to the service and they can get an accurate update in a meaningful amount of time? When things break, we can always fall back on the redundancy in place, but when those are removed, then sailors are SOL when something stops working.
