It will take most of a decade to get GPS back up.

If the big shore antennas haven't been recycled , your old charts will work again.

I have my old Loran , just in case.

Just as I have a fire bottle and extra anchor ,,,just in case.

Sure "double the angle off the bow" radio fixes will still work , but its a LOT of work!

If an EMP happens, there will be a lot more to worry about than GPS/Loran. Better put your aluminum foil hat on just in case.
