OKI I admit I don't know a lot about this but are they just shutting
down LORAN-C in favor of another land based system, E-LORAN?

If so, other than having to buy the next new thing, what is the
problem?
I do understand the concern of the loss of the GPS satellites. They
are big terrorist targets primed for the taking. We should have
something else.
Of course a lot of the applications we call "GPS" are really
triangulating cell phone towers. That came from the 911 deal (the
phone number, not the date).

I want the GPS coordinates of your pineapples... :)
