I was of the understanding that GPS was set up by the US military for missile guidance. The accuracey of it to the civil world was slightly out off alignment.
This has changed now slightly, but it will still be subject to military interference.
Maps are still a wonderful thing.............Ok so I'm an ATCO that has had problems in the past with a minority of GA pilots relying on GPS and not looking at maps.
