+scottpa100 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 It won't replace GPS - that's for sure! It was developed in the second world war "after the Pacific war". Its all radio frequency based. It was best able to locate down to 18m but went up to 90 metres. I wouldn't fancy trying to hunt along 90 metres of mud filled ditch trying to find a little plastic tub!! Quote Link to comment
+Kryten Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Loran also has some close cousins called Decca and Omega but they all became obsolete with the development of GPS. Loran sufered from difference in day/night performance. Quote Link to comment
