    Loran offsets

    I need the Loran offsets for MHC area, I run my Garmin GPS on Loran conversion when offshore. Setup ask for X and Y stations, any help greatly appreciated.

    Even with offsets added, it'll be very inaccurate. If you need TDs to access bottom fishing numbers, youd be better of finding one on ebay. If youre fishing offshore and just want to fish the lines 500 625 300s whatever, then a GPS even without offsets is close enough to get you there.

    Not sure how much help this is for you, but it may get you a little closer. My offsets for OI are:

    X (-2.2)
    Y (-2.4)

    Thanks Tuna Teaser, I hate telling someone I'm on the 600 line and really be on the 550, I tried to use the NOAA loran chart to figure offsets, but.......

    Without offsets youre not that far off, more than likely whoever youre talking to doesnt have a loran or offsets...probably the same as you...I'd say the difference b/w a loran and a GPS w/o offsets is probably 3-5 clicks, theres no way 50.
