Anyone's Gps acting really waked out? I read the other day that the poles are doing some moving around and faster than they normally do. Relax you global warming kooks, this happens natually, it's just time. Anyway my shit has been going bonkers. Good thing I can read a map.
I use a handheld GPS all day, everyday and have done so for quite a while. I have noticed some strange things in the past, but nothing that seems to last more than 10 - 15 minutes at a time. I too have compass and map skills so I don't fret over those brief moments of GPS WTF.
Say top of the line. I ask because I'm about to wrap up a 16+ year job sustaining the Air Force Satellite Control Network including the GPS ground stations at the Cape, Ascension Island, Diego Garcia, Kwajalein, and Hawaii.
Wow, it didn't think it was that accurate. Shows how much the sytem has advanced since the '80s. We launched a bird from the Cape in May and I think there's a couple more launches on the shedule before the end of the year.
It is pretty amazing. My son lost his iphone a couple years ago (actually got it stolen) and we did the "find my iphone thing" and it not only showed us the house but actually like what room it was in. Like, the icon showed up on the part of the house where it was not just a big dot over the whole house. If you are talking a job that big then I'm sure you will have access to a wide array of high powered shit so I'd say it would be able to get really pin point accuracy. Hell, 10 years ago we were using stuff in the military that would get you +/- 3 ft at times depending on how many birds we could track. Often times better than that.
