I heard differing stories on the accuracy situation. I thought George W Bush ordered the thing turned off that makes it less accurate, but maybe the receivers are only so good as well. I wonder how the iPhone even combines Glonas and GPS, as it would seem that using both could give better accuracy, but there is only so much an internal antenna inside a phone could do.

Hi Larry, There really is not much need for a new North American system, the GPS network does cover the entire world and accuracy is not necessarily a factor of the technology but also a result of the government keeping it to a certain level of accuracy by adding a deliverate factor of inaccuracy. Also, keep in mind that any iPhone since the 4S can not only take advantage of GPS but also of the GLONASS satellite system which was put up by Russia and which also covers the globe.

Has anyone heard of a new gps system coming to the U.S. such as that coming to Europe? -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
