ALL SI Models - Loran C TD to GPS converter

ALL SI Models
Suggested Upgrade: 
Loran C TD to GPS converter
Explanation: 
We need to have the ability to covert TD's to GPS. Either something where you can type in the 2 TD locations and it converts them into GPS lat long, or when you move you cursor while looking at your map it displays the TD numbers underneath the GPS lat Long.  Every competing Chartplotter company has one of these listed above, if not both, as a Standard.  I know for a fact Humminbird is losing business from people not buying humminbird products because  this feature hasn't been implemented. TD numbers are still widely used for offshore and great lakes fishing, and its not going away. Also this feature needs to have some kind of offset adjustment as well. 
I believe this could be accomplished very easily by adding the algorithm for converting TD's to Lat, Long. Actually I believe hummingbird already has the algorithm, because the converter was in the old NS-10 units
If Furuno, Lowrance, Garmin, Si Tex, Eagle, Raymarine, and Northstar can do it, I know Humminbird can. 

Thank you
