Are we about to lose GPS - post this Br***t mess? Very worrying

[Robert Wilson]

I was sailing long before GPS was even thought about, and the sky stayed where it should be.

The loss of GPS wouldn't make navigation or pilotage any more difficult than it used to be, just a bit more challenging. So horrifying? Definitely not with a reasonable level of competence.

Point taken.
Poor choice of my word!

Why would they any more that they would with respect to other non-EU NATO members (including the US) who are in the same position (no pun intended)?

I based my post on something I read in a newspaper. Perhaps it wasn't accurate.

Reassuring news , so far.
I have actually been aware that the USA can/may from time-to-time downgrade or switch off their controlled GPS facility - and I, like said neighbour, thought that it is the Galileo system.
He mentioned that Trumpy is sabre-rattling, looking at various ways to make the USA more powerful, which seems to hang true if The Media are to be believed.

Blimey he now has a medical condition named after him and his behaviour, might explain Trump's constant lies though
