TIA
DieselDiesel298:thanks
i dunno if im doin something wrong but it dont seem to be workin right : ...?
If you have loran TD numbers they translate better to GPS lat lon than most loran lat lon numbers, but you can try some of the software to at least get you close. The translations seem to work the best if youre off shore and worse if youre close to land and especially hilly land. If you check around some of the marine electronics shops you may be able to find an old loran unit you can rent for a month or two to do your translations. You might even try putting an ad in a local paper for someone to loan or rent you their loran.Diesel298:well my problem is i have GPS and not loran.
or i would run out using the loran numbers, and then mark it on GPS
