      How do you all feel about GPS systems in your personal vehicles? Would you pay the extra to have one?

      I prefer to use a map and a compass that is in my Jeep. I have made it to all of my clients on time using that method. I feel it would be like a calculator, I can no longer do large mathematical problems in my head due to lack of practice. I am afraid of what would happen if that was the case with GPS systems.

      Now, is there any way to know where the chopper flew last night? Is there a flight recorder? GPS system?

      The GPS system sends the data of all sats. The receivers need to know that. Probably you can ask your receiver.

      So, Ohio State University and all the others who explain how the GPS system works are just "a bunch of fanatics idiots"? Only YOU know the "truth"?
