Really? you can’t be serious.
GPS runs on nearly everything now. Commerical trucking, shipping, airline, rail traffic, land surveying, the list is endless. You are thinking of the bone heads who have a little dash thingy in their car to get them to work over a path they have already traveled 1000 times.
The last units we bought were $20k+ each

Not just him. That's all zero is thinking of as well. Having NO experience in the real world of business and having NO idea of what makes things work, zero probably thinks it will only affect those boneheads.

I really have to believe this will be killed if there is a real interference issue. There's way too much commerce that depends on GPS to allow anything to interfere with it.

The first time I coaxed my wife into using my GPS was on a business trip she was on. She called to tell me she was lost. I told her to turn on the GPS and enter the home location. She selected an entry my daughter had put in the unit by mistake, titled Home-Vac.

My wife called me three hours later asking why she was in St Louis instead of Tennessee?

After using GPS and LORAN for decades, I'd be hard pressed to old school navigate in my plane. You get dangerously hooked to it's use.

You sound a bit too concerned about how others choose to exercise their freedom. How would you know where they live and work? Do you stalk "bone heads"?
