| My handheld Garmin allows the input of TD's (LORAN C) if that helps. I think most Garmin units do. Why don't you just post all of those secrect old spots.   | ||

Ok I found the book Damm That was easier than I thought it would be. There is a way to setup the unit to read loran fixes It will probably take a few times once the boat is in to figure it out . | |||
