Although i haven't proved this underwater, when I tried it on the surface the Garmin that I use only popped up a small message indicating that satellite reception had been lost. It didn't clear the screen. I own a Garmen eTrex Legend. (not the new color one). The message covered only the...

Converting Loran to GPS is definaitely not a perfect science.. If you know all of the information, you can get within a few (i.e. 30) metres of the exact GPS coordinate. More informatio can be found here: http://www.loran.org/Coordinates.htm I fed the LORAN into a converter and came up with...

The first coordinate actually looks right. It puts the wreck just south of Beausoleil Island. The second coordinate however will need to be between W79 54.600 and W79 48.000 (Min Dec Format) (which unfortunately is almost 9km).. I've tried a bunch of permutations of the second coordinate...

Anyone have the GPS coordinates available for this wreck? The Coast guard site has no details yet on the location of the site. Regards,

Hi Guys, Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I can't comment on the Caroline Rose, but the J.C. morrison has a correction posted for the actual site. On the Rose however, I looked at Mapquest's map, and it shows clearly that it's about 200 metres into Driftwood Cove. I will compare...

Juggernaut, Thank you for the comments. As per your questions: 1. All coordinates are provided through various sources and comments/corrections are available for each location (postable by registered users). You may also be using the wrong format in your GPS (see point 3). If you are in...

There's no reason you couldn't do this. The GPS just allows you to record a large number of locations within it's memory. (Mine has the ability to store 1000 points - although I haven't even come close). A number of people like to know where they are while underwater. Although none of...

Unfortunately for most divers the only affordable option for probably quite a while would be carrying a handheld GPS with them in a waterproof box and either send it to the surface on a towline, or carry it on their dive flag to mark where they travelled underwater. You can also try this link...

Here's a link to a similar system that claims similar results but goes into a bit more detail on how the system operates. It describes the system using DGPS from a shore station with an accuracy of +/- 10 metres to +/- 1 metre depending on the shore station used. The underwater portion of this...
