CommercialHow a GPS calculates TD's
Question
Are the TD's that are shown on my GPS actually received from the loran stations?
Solution
The GPS receiver obtains it's position information from satellites orbiting the earth. The GPS must do an internal mathematical calculation to convert the GPS position information into the TD format. The GPS receiver does not obtain any information from the loran stations.
