LORAN is expensive to maintain and operate and it’s outdated.

It's not as expensive to operate as GPS, but it's accuracy is VERY limited by comparison.

Back when I used Loran-c it was only able to put us "in the ballpark" at best. It's accuracy depends on where you are, especially if you're close to one of the base-lines.
