Does Anyone Still Use GPS Loran?

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

There are some great worldwide gps navigation systems available today by companies such as garmin and tomtom. Almost all gps systems are worldwide today due to the large network of global positioning system satellites.

There are certainly no doubts about the popularity of the GPS device in the present age. But like every other thing this device too has witnessed gradual development and has evolved over a period of time. A reminiscent of the earlier days of the GPS is the GPS Loran. LORAN or Long Range Navigation is a navigation system designed for the land. This navigation system makes use of low frequency radio transmitters. These radio transmitters in turn use multiple transmitters that determine the location and/or speed of the receiver.
