okay, thanks for the replies.
the jury's out on this one. did some research myself on gps/nav NG's, and some people have been talking about it happening, others call them a loser, they come back and say they themselves are a respected authority for some such reason, other people call them an idiot and tell everyone how great THEY are, then i get tired of reading people trashing each other and go and fix my car. i'm just assuming user error, or indeed some interference. actually i've noticed street lights plinking out when i'm walking along sometimes, so maybe it's me. gramercy, ash. -----Original Message----- From: Simmonds, Ashley (PTB) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 21:36 To: 'Mapinfo List (E-mail)' Subject: MI-L GPS Selective Availability anyone hear anything about SA (or some scrambling variation) being switched on recently? as part of our work, we regularly monitor vehicles, and we've been getting some freaky wierd data, not only displaced geographically, but displaced in time as well. someone here said some rumoury thing that some fishermen can't find their fishing holes at the moment, and it's because the GPS nav stuff is being messed with due to political/war stuff. to me it sounds like complete bollocks, but we're getting some GPS's back with data recorded anywhere from december last year to shrove tuesday, and these GPS's are only with the operator for a day or so before downloading. it's most likely operator error, but i just want to check if anyone knows stuff that i don't. ash --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 5786 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 5804
