Ok Guys. VOR/DME
VOR stands for "Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range"
DMS stands for "Distance Measuring Equipment"

These are very useful when your boat is on a plane.

Back in the early 80's I sailed out of Niagara on Lake Ontario. I had a
VOR nav system that was made for marine purposes. I don't recall the
manufacturer but it was about the size of an old turntable and had a
large compass dial on the top. We could tune in radio station broacast
towers all around the lake and the indicator would show the go-to arrow
against the compass rose beneath. Quite handy. But still you had to
know DR first. Fast forward to 2005. GPS is great, until the power
fails...
