Default Re: GPS is not Radar

Did you know that GPS was originally developed for the US armed services, specifically the air force? Our government controls the access provided by satellite and can flip a switch and turn off civilian GPS capabilities around the world. They did this on 9/11. Can you imagine if you had no other navigation skills other than how to follow your GPS? You are wise to have backup and the skills to use it.
