With the dawning of a high accuracy Global Positioning System (GPS) in the early 1990s, Loran-C slowly became antiquated and finally the USCG took Loran-C transmitting stations offline in 2010. With no Loran-C signal, Coast Survey followed suit and began to eliminate Loran-C lattices from nautical charts. Most charting customers welcomed the removal of the busy lattices from the chart as it made the chart more readable". *"So why do some people still want nautical charts with a Loran-C lattice? Prior to GPS, many fishermen and commercial diving operations did not use a true latitude and longitude (Lat/Lon) geographic coordinate system to position their offshore features. They identified their favorite fishing or diving locations by Loran-C time delay coordinates. When Loran-C lattices were removed from NOAA charts, many fishermen were left with Loran-C coordinates that had no corresponding Lat/Lon. Therefore, they did not have a way of plotting their Loran-C coordinates on current charts". ===== Appropriate OpenDirectory Directory Pages ===== *[[http://www.dmoz.org/Reference/Maps/|OpenDirectory "Top: Reference: Maps:"]]. *[[http://www.dmoz.org/World/Deutsch/Wissen/Karten_und_Pl%C3%A4ne/|OpenDirectory "Top: World: Deutsch: Wissen: Karten und Pläne"]]. {{tag>maps "route planner" route planner}}
