Can GPSy handle conversions from TDs?
Some customers have mentioned that they have literally thousand of LORAN TD format waypoints and are searching for some solution to convert them to geographic coodinates (latitude/longitude). Unfortunately, GPSy does not have a TD->lat/lon converter in it, nor have we seen any such software for the Macintosh or DOS/WIN platforms. The Magellan 3000XL allows use of TDs, but other than from that, we haven’t seen any conversions. TDs are so inaccurate and maintaining a database so difficult that we doubt anyone would go to the trouble an expense these days — it might be better to use the Magellan to enter the waypoints in TDs, and then ask it to display them in lat/lons (or use GPSy to download it back in lat/lon).
