Unlocked GPS Was ten years old on the 1st.

Global Positioning System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Happy Birthday GPS... World, you're welcome.

Amazing technology. If you really think about it- from pressing a button on your garmin or iPhone, to the underlying physics & math, it is really a feat to behold. Satellites, launch vehicles, orbiting atomic clocks, the math of allowing any arbitrary receiver the ability to self-synchronize. Almost perfect.

OT, but I ran across plans for a "GPS Jammer" a few years ago. Think about it.

Originally posted by Phrack. Now fairly widely posted. Interferes with the L1 signal, so the receiver can't pick up the navigation message.

You wonder if the only use is nefarious.

I'll tell you, if they decide to use car GPS data to pay road use tax, or to report speeding, I'll be headed to Radio Shack!
