Yes. Though I'm still not sure why they couldn't just use GPS.
As for the Americans turning GPS off, ha-ha, good one. They might try, but they'd soon discover just how much of the world is now utterly reliant on GPS for accurate timing, because a lot of things would quickly stop working. So many I imagine, that America could rapidly get to 'load the shotgun and prepare the bunker' levels.
