US-Owned GPS Could Fail In 2010
Posted on May 20, 09 09:23 PM PDT
GPS lovers, take note. The global positioning system (GPS) operated by the US government could fail as early as next year, as a recent report showed that "it is uncertain whether the Air Force will be able to acquire new satellites in time to maintain current GPS service without interruption." Well this isn't good news for folks who grew up on GPS navigation when getting around as they'll have to learn the arcane arts of reading and folding paper maps all over again just like their forefathers, using their brain to do more than just change lanes when driving. Don't say you have not been warned if you happen to drive somewhere with your vehicle GPS system dying on you sometime next year.
