Overambitious navigation leading to danger on voyages appears to be much, much older than electronics. Chap called Odysseus was at it millennia ago. And the Shipwrecked Sailor of ancient Egypt who wasn't prepared for... horrors!... twelve foot waves (admittedly that island he wound up on was pretty far-out). Electronics just make everything easier and more efficient, including getting into trouble.
