Can anybody help, I have loran #'s i would like to convert to GPS #'s . Is there a conversion chart ? if so where might i find it ?

The US Coast Guard Website has a DOS program that can be downloaded and is self extracting. The link is ... http://www.rdc.uscg.mil/rdcpages/software.html

If you are far from land the conversion will be more accurate than if you are close to land. The error is related to whats called the Loran ASF correction factor.

There is way too much error on all the programs to be of any use. your best bet is too have both units on your boat while loran is still around and write them down as you fish them. its really the only sure way

Thanks for the info Anthony, I tried to access the website but was unable to do so. I don't have a working loran to use, I'll just have to wing it for awhile .
