It used to be that gps accuracy was limited and six feet was smaller than the margin of error. Also knew that civilian resolution was intentional coarse and only the military was able to use the high resolution positioning systems.
I pray that gps systems don’t change and give civilian use of gps doesn’t get so precise that six feet can be resolved in our phones. This would be a military and strategic mistake that we will pay for very soon.

Currently the GPS timing is set to very wide, has been since the start of the Pandemic. Both my phone and hard wire GPS systems are having troubles guessing which road I am on.

Kinda odd, like we are at Devcon 2 or 3 for some reason.

Too late for prayers. Over 30 satellites up with new technology. Soon 6-foot resolution will seem crude.
