Default LORAN Still Worth The Trouble?

I misread your post. I looked back later and realized that the
private charts you were referring to are only for the Bahamas.

I think it might be possible with Google Earth as far as getting an
idea about any systematic chart skew or offset such as you might be
able to correct for with the Loran. However, it's also possible that
Google skews or shifts around their image tiles so that they
correspond to the official charts. When I do unlock the Newfoundland
region, I'm going to check the locations of lighthouses and other
major features between my Bluecharts and GE because it's fairly quick
and easy to do.

I think it's far more likely though that the whole region is just
poorly charted and some individual features are misplaced. Nothing to
do then but keep a sharp lookout and sail conservatively.
