Loran vs GPS

My friend has a Loran unit installed but uses GPS. It's interesting to cruise and compare the two units. The Loran is "not bad" for accuracy but I wouldn't want to rely on it to navigate a channel in the fog. I think he is wise to keep the unit. It's already installed and if for whatever reason he has a failure of his GPS he can still direct assistance to his location. That is what I do. I don't see any reason to get rid of it as long as it works. And, Loran is fine for a foggy channel if you have been there before and added waypoints in the channel.
