The users of GPS constitute most of the upper crust int he US

Wow - so people like the long haulers are 'upper crust" now? They'll be surprised to hear that.,

GPS is vital to them - I wouldn't think that another business has the right to so negatively impact another

“‘Twould be ironic if it were AF1.....KARMA IS NOT TO BE DENIED....”

‘cause I’m a hard working SOB, I see the same doofus’ every morning. God bless ‘em for holding down a 12+ hour day like me, it just cracks me up. Really? You don’t know where you work? OK maybe they have the nifty Garmin unit w/ live traffic updates, I’ll grant them that much. I am not at all concerned how other people exercise their freedoms, I’m more concerned with a-holes trying to restrict those freedoms, but I don’t think that was what the article was about anyway.

I doubt this is over your head, you being a smart guy and all, but a GPS is a great tool for people driving between work and home when a traffic issue pops up. On several occasions, I have used my GPS to help me maneuver through neighborhoods I didn't know in order to get around a traffic problem.

Those "doofuses" aren't a dumb as you wish they were.

This is some news.. Thanks for posting. As a third time go at land- nav, it’s just not my gift. Keep us posted please. Looks like another corrupto -crat scheme. Guess we need to get our our terrain maps, string, protractors and beads to get us headed in the right direction.

“The users of GPS constitute most of the upper crust int he US. This is not going to happen, unless Obama wishes to receive no votes at all in 2012”

I worked in the GPS field at one time. There are millions of business users that would go out of business should that happen. Someone is a rumor monger or has their head up their ass! T’ain’t gonna happen.

“...the peasants get firing squads.”

Uhh - last year, those peasants bought nearly as much small arms ammo as the US military.

Just sayin’.
