Things have changed! I used work for the company that made the LORAN Transmitters (I wrote software and designed some hardware for them), now LORAN is gone.

I remember seeing my first GPS receiver, it literally was the size of a microwave oven an cost around $50,000.00.

Now they are built into our cell phones and other products that cost $100 or less that almost everyone can own. Who could have predicted this?
