    My Garmin GPS converts.

    Andren software works well too if you want to purchase it. I think it's around $85.

    Each company that makes a gps uses there own algorithm for converting Loran to GPS. It's called phantom loran, it's fairly accurate, but you need to know offsets, especially bottom fishing.

    Yep, you can get the Andren software and Maps Unique electronic charts. Add numbers and Loran coordinates on it. Then save the to a SD card and import them into your machine.

    And this too. If you have the baseline it'll be dang close.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I was given some Loran numbers a while back and found the spot by gridding the area off since I didn't have the baseline but using the phantom Loran on my old Raymarine. The area around those numbers is littered with tons of live bottom, ledges and structure. We catch a lot of bottom fish on those spots. Every time we head out there, we find new spots. We've probably marked 60 spots off those numbers, some big and some small.
