An old charter boat captain gave my Dad a few coordinates for wrecks, but they are all Loran. Dad has a DGPS setup. Does anyone know of a way to convert Loran to DGPS?

I hate that as I went crazy trying to find an artificial reef with Loran coordinates.  I ended up pulling a chart and guesstimating based on the chart.

You know that a google search for loran can find all sorts of things...

this is a link to Loran.org and they have conversion information.

Many thanks-
 I had actually seen that site before, but when I got to the "500 yard margin of error" portion, I figured that we'd be better off using depth charges to fish with. :(
 In some of the waters we fish, being off the wreck by 30 feet will put you out of the fish (if they're holding tight to structure).
 Thanks for the time... the search continues.
