I've already mentioned maritime navigation but if GPS is this important for international shipping computers, imagine how many other civilian uses GPS has around the world?
Would all of those all go out at the flip of a switch in the defence department? Seems worrisome if that's the case, don't you guys think? |
as someone who uses a GPS handset at time for bush navigation, i don't see it being a big problem...i know how to navigate with a map & compass.
GPS hasn't been around that long...it all goes with the dangers of becoming too reliant on technology. china and europe are putting their own GPS constelations up....so long story short, in a time of war i don't think there would be any added confusion because GPS wasn't 100%
