Loran to Lat/Lon Converter

[Growley]

Does anyone know of a Loran to Lat/Lon converter that is available on the web? Of course, the keyword here is FREE.

It's out there someplace... like on my old computer.

I had a shareware version that I used to mediate some 'differences of opinion' a few years ago when I was running a lobster boat. Some of the charter boats gave me a couple 'secret' fishing spots in the bargain. I posted the site here over a year ago, but seems to have vanished. A call to a marine electronics dealer might prove fruitfull. Best of luck,

My Vista can do that, but perhaps that's not an option that suits you?

Here's a DOS program from the U.S. Coast Guard that will change Loran-C Time Difference measurements to Latitude and Longitude and vice versa.

10 points to Deanster...

I ran across that site later but was is no mood to play with computer any more than I had to at that point.

 

I used to hide bottles of rum in the Bahamas for other boaties in the late '80s using Loran. Anchor at X-Y, go D on a heading of Mº... Amazing the lengths we went to keep entertained and find a free bottle.

 

Thank the electronic Gods for GPS, 'jumps' with Loran were a nightmare and Sat-Nav was even worse.
