I have Loran, although I haven't figured it all out yet. I am not going to invest big bucks for a gps chartplotter on a 16 year old boat that I will probably sell in 5-10 years. I prefer to learn how to navigate instead of relying on gps. I will, however, buy a handheld gps for backup, and I can take it with me.
