I agree, 

Especially when the GPS modules are only 50 bucks.

Wouter,

Loran might get you a position to 50-60 meters after much development work
on your part, but for one hell of a lot less work and money you can get down
to a couple of meters of position with a cheap GPS module. I can understand
an intellectual pursuit but what will you have in the end? 

Just my 2 cents!

Vic
