[CA] [CA11] GPS to Loran position format??

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Technical Forum qbayle,

LORAN C was decommissioned in 2010. Unlike prior generations of Raymarine MFDs (which had been developed when LORAN C was operational), Raymarine's a/c/e/gS-Series MFDs do not presently support Loran Time Difference (TD) coordinates. It is recommended that those have waypoint libraries containing Loran TD coordinates convert the Loran based waypoint data to lat/lon coordinates. Such conversion is supported by a number of PC applications such as Andren SeaMarks (formerly known as LoranGPS), USCG POSAID2, etc.. The conversion is a one-time action which would then permit the converted data to be entered into the MFD.

Raymarine has logged a feature request to consider addition of support for LORAN TD coordinates in addition to lat/lon coordinates already supported by these MFDs.
