The R function, 'Loran.f', uses the 32-bit DOS executable 'GPTOTD.EXE' to convert Loran coordinates to lat/long in R.

The 'Example R Code.R' script has looping software to allow conversion of large data sets.

For GPTOTD.EXE go to:

https://www.loran.org/software.htm ('GP to TD Zip' under Program Files).

Keep the 3 DATUM files (FWGS84, FWGS72, FNAD) in the same folder as GPTOTD.EXE.

To get a free 32-bit Windows XP virtual machine to run on your 64-bit box see:
