New guy here with maybe an off the wall question:

I think see where I can enter waypoints in Loran TD format in Homeport. Can I then convert these to GPS coordinates?

    Yes, just change the format displayed in Homeport back to Lat/Long coords and they are all "converted". BUT, keep in mind the converstion process is not perfect or exact. They are approximations that can be up to 1 mile off because of the variations in Loran. There are ways and tricks to minimize this error, search the web for it as there is lots of info on how to to it....
