The fact that the U.S., which invented GPS and most of what depends on it (ATMs, gas pumps, trucking companies and lost spouses), would consider stepping away from the system

I cannot figure out why an ATM or a gas pump would need GPS unless they were stolen.

Many gas pumps out there are starting to use Google to give directions.
