I would find it hard to believe that they would switch off the signals
because GPS has become so important to the transportation and public
safety system. My youngest's new patrol car has GPS in it (along with
a whole bunch of other really cool tech) for reporting back on where
he is when he makes traffic or felony stops. Trucking firms are
really getting into it and I don't think FED EX could exist without it
nowadays.


True. The truckers can't cheat anymore if GPS equipped. It tracks and
records all the truck movements and hours.

I haven't heard of any GPS issues, but then again I don't use it as
regularly as you do.
