    I use my loran as a speedy device to show my LAt/LON constantly.  I don't use it for routing or any of the other features that it has.  It sits there flashing it location all day and night while I am underway.  basically the loran is below and the GPS in the cockpit, so when I am looking over a chart I can immediately point out my exact location.  I say "hold onto it."

    My boat came with a functioning Loran unit. I have since bought a handheld GPS. Now I m debating getting rid of the Loran. My questions are:
    1. Should I learn to use it and keep it as a backup nav device.
    2. If I get rid of it, how? Is there any market for them?
