C-Map plotting errors

How to trust the plotter and its GPS will always be a topic of much interest to navigators,I myself have seen some positions marked incorrectly myself,passing through the end of the Hout Bay Harbour wall is not uncommon with my Garmin 192C,the worse was with a Shipmate plotter,it took our return track clear through the Karbonkleberg mountain!
