Forgive my ignorance, but what is eLORAN? We studied LORAN in our ATPL syllabus, from what i remember it was a network of huge antenna - is this similar?

GPS...made in America, and it works good
The SiRFstar III chip is indeed impressive.
I'm begining to think GPS is reliable enough to make it the primary navigation model for VFR. When I first learnt to fly in the 60s I dreamed of a Decca navigator or the doppler-driven paper maps on the Trident. Maybe now we've got there.
