not quite cf but i know there's a fairly large gang of us
dealing with GPS/GIS technologies: president clinton
issued an executive order may 1st instructing the military
to turn off the selective availability (simply put, SA is signal
jamming) for the US's GPS satellites. this means that
civilian GPS units are now about as accurate as military
ones. by turning SA off, civilian GPS positioning errors 
are reduced from +/-120m to +/-5m! this is a milestone
for the widespread adoption of GPS technology. 
whoopee!
