Affect boaters? What about aviaiton?
I don't fly that I don't turn on my moving map GPS.
Will have to spread the word on this!
To: grobdriver
Thanks. Isn't there someone here with an aviation ping list?

I've sent email to my EAA chapter and to EAA HQ for notification of National membership...
I have no AOPA contacts or I'd send it there, too.

I'll send AOPA a link. Great. Thanks.
I'm reading that article thinking, how fast can a boat get lost? 5, 10 knots?
I can get lost at 175 knots! Yow!

Hmmm, good question.

Well, it will be a great exercise for all mariners who have come to rely way too much on electronic equipment such as GPS and chartplotters. Those ol' nautical charts will get a much needed workout.

I'm reading that article thinking, how fast can a boat get lost?it's not so much getting lost as finding an underwater obstacle! positioning is still important in the water!
is this a localized N C prob? or is my GPS at lake powell going to be junk this weekend?

Thank you.
I thought there was an Aviation ping list, but couldn't recall who maintained it.

Real men don't need a GPS to navigate Lake Powell - just a cooler full of cold beer.

From reading the article this seems like it will an East of the Mississippi problem.
You'll probably be fine, using totally different GPS satellites.

You don't know how to fly VOR to VOR? :-)
