So how exactly are we going to create superior charts in regions with
no GPS coverage? Or what use would these charts be to a sailor trying
to navigate a tricky coast without sat nav to give him his position?


Just where are these areas without coverage?

Note that the published radius of jamming by the USG is 180 - 400 nm
(reported for both Maryland and China Lake) something that Wayne refuses
to acknowledge as he repeats that jamming isn't possible over a large
area.

Presumably the NOTAMS stating that jamming was occuring over a wide area
of sea off Cornwall previously posted doesn't mean anything to Wayne
because it's happening somewhere foreign.

Hint: the G in GPS stands for Global. It's like taxes: everywhere.


Then there's the World Series ... so that according to you involves
everyone in the world? It doesn't even involve a significant fraction of
the world's nations. Does Universal Studios involve the entire Universe?
