Here's an interesting tid-bit. I've got an old Interphase Locator boat LORAN. Generally, it works just fine. But on 2 separate occasions, thats 2 for 2, when my groundspeed got up around 140 kts, it froze. (most boats don't go that fast <G>) When it wakes up again, it indicates some speed like 25 and shows me being 15 or 20 miles from where I was. It takes it several minutes to get it's brains unscrambled. Both times the high ground speed was as a result of descending from what had been a pretty fast cruise, so I'm guessing it didn't recover until I dropped back under the magic number, whatever it is (around 138 kts or so) .
