>. Tie it in to a Loran-C and have a scrolling map

1.  NY State troopers have such a Loran-C system, sans graphics

2.  Loran accuracy depends heavily on uniform propogation over flat,
sea-level surfaces.  Recommend you get a scrolling map for your boat.

3.  Why Loran?  Omega is the wave of the future and SatNav is the future
waving back.
