1. Get a chart and plot your TD's on it. Then simply re-plot them as LAT/LON
2. Software is available that allows you to enter TDs or LAT/LON and does the conversion for you.
3. Some GPS units have "phantom LORAN" function; That is, they have software built-in that allows you to enter coordinates in either format and then display them in either format.
No matter which route you choose, its prudent to re-save your waypoints as "present positions" as you cruise to them. The conversions all induce a degree of error.

Maryanne (her sister's name is Ginger) loves blasting around ST. Thomas, Virgin Islands in our new Hybrid Inflatable. She loves how the catamaran hulls floats over the chop on a cushion of air trapped between the hulls. She's a large Standard Poodle which are said to be from the Portuguese Water Dog and were bred as water fowl retrievers in Germany. She, like most Standards is very smart... now, she even brings me the dockline when we get home. Lucky dog!
