LORAN Still Worth The Trouble?

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. -- Roger Long |
