How Accurate is the Conversion from Loran to GPS?

The Andren LoranGPS program automatically converts Loran to Lat/Lon or Lat/Lon to Loran and saves both in the waypoints (aka readings) file. If you enter both Loran and GPS for a given spot, it is considered a calibration waypoint and no conversions are performed on it. The conversion equations the program uses were developed by the Navy years ago and are quite complex, but they are the most accurate available.
