That's what scares me, when a virus takes the entire GPS system down.
Hope they still teach em how to use a common compass.

Just think all cars now are somehow hooked to a PC. I read in just a few years to come the government will be able to track your every movement and could turn off all cars basically at will......

not my old truck.......

Am I strange in that I prefer paper maps and the like for my navigation? I think it keeps me from being intellectually flabby.

Very interesting article, though I would like to read it from another source. If they cannot even get the name right of the arseclowns who sell stuff to Iraq - they are called Siemens - I have my doubts about the content of the rest of the article, when it comes to information where you really have to do research.

No, I prefer the paper nav either, it's great for you abstract memory and improves your spatial imagination. Though I love my GPS when I am in an unknown city or when in a sparely populated area looking for the next gas station.

Just be glad we own GPS and can shut it down for anyone else.

Quite sure we can jam GLONASS too...
