hookem_cookem,

GPS is all you need and it is getting hard to find a LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation)unit anyways. Most GPS units will convert Loran TD's (Time Delays) to Lat Long when set up.

I suggest that you take a free CG Aux. boating class if you have the time. The CG has a decent web site to learn about both GPS and LORAN.

Also take a look at the Garmin 152. It around $300, fixed mount and is capable of recieving WAAS Signal. I usually get less then 12' accuracy and you don't need a DGPS reciever.
