Interesting article.

Make sure your boat is where you think it is... :-)
I always wondered how secure GPS could be if a WiFi company could jam
them accidently
===

Jamming is easy compared to actual position spoofing which requires
precisely replicating the satellite data with altered signal timing.
Any strong signal on or near the GPS frequencies can overwhelm the
front end of the reciver however since the satellite signals are
relatively weak.

Position spoofing or more accurately Electronic Counter Measures is not
new. We've been using ECM since the 60s.
