THe British are starting to use eLoran and hoping to have the British Isles covered by 2020. So there is a future use to offer an alternative to GPS and GNSS when they get jammed. They are also saying shops are becoming to reliant on solely GPS for navigation and want more diversity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karit (talk • contribs) 20:53, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

eLoran is Loran-C, not LORAN. Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:55, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But what does it do?

Hi, (I'm really new here, and I hope I'm not breaking any rules or stepping on toes) I've read through the introduction twice, and I can't see exactly what LORAN does. As an analogy, its like an article on "measuring tape" that doesn't, in the very first paragraph, say "...a measuring tape is a thing used to measure the length of other things...". I'm on this page to learn, and I have no authority to edit it. Joseph.m.hamill (talk) 07:38, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
