2011 - GPS problems

[PTG1]

Can't remember where I recently read it, but acoording to the article, increased sunspot activity by 2011 will render all GPS units totally inaccurate. Any comments/thoughts etc. and are manufacturers keeping quiet about it until they've sold everyone at least 2 units?

Go away Jimi

well, i don't think you are jimi so ... as there were loads of 'em a couple of years back and nothing happened although jimi did resort to his AA road atlas, I think we'll be OK 2011.

I've been simulating this by letting the battery in my GPs go flat.

I can report that the sky did not fall on my head, and Nab Tower is still in the same place on the chart.

 

[ParaHandy]

Sadly, your chart may not be updated. After looking at irrefutable data provided by our esteemed pal, Nab Tower has moved ....

Ship's Cat would have been able to give you lots of reasons why this is not going to happen, but unfortunately he's gone walkabout.

Just keep your manual charting skills and DR upto date, and nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go.....

Oh, welcome to the Forum, by the way.

 

[PTG1]

Well thank you for your welcome, and no, I'm not Jimi [but do play guitar on board].

Unfortunately your first post is rather too much like the posting style of one of our forumites, who has been known to assume a different identity. And this particular subject has been done to death in the recent past.

Notwithstanding this, and your reception to a first post, welcome to the forums.

Warning. IMO PTG1 AKA GC1

 

[Pinnacle]

Does ( did ) GC1 play guitar?

 

[tome]

Too obvious, surely?

 

[kengill]

Welcome back GC1

 

[Guest]

He plays a lot of things but didn't know that was one ...

Paranoia ??

How will we get a sunsight...

Article in this month's YW - hopefully the new Euro system will take account of this interference or is that wishful thinking?

Happy1, Grumpy1, GC1, PTG1 /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Anyone else notice a family resemblance or am I being paranoid?

Don't think so

Doesn't seem argumentative enough

However

Time will tell
