LightSquared Promises Tech Fix To 'Save' GPS | Fox News

If the system does go down will you manage without it?

On the water, not a problem. Driving in the city, I'm going to have issues. ;-)

Having sailed without GPS, and driven vehicles with out it too...I'd manage. That said, I love my GPS and Chartplotter and would not gladly give them up.

Not any more than usual.

I'm with Joe, and I don't think I would have any real issues more than I already do.

I figure there will be a fix sooner than later, anyways, but then again, I'm not really going to be affected that much because my poor C22 is on the hard for refitting.

Your mileage may vary...

Yeah ummmm, no..... I won't get lost. I think anyone who would shouldn't sail...... Just my 2 cents though....

Same!

I like getting lost. I look at it like it's part of the "Adventure".

LightSquared backer Philip Falcone told FoxNews.com all will be just fine. Simple fix.... like the physicist said "tin foils hats for your GPS".
Oh yeah - I'm convinced to trust this guy.......
The threat is not the system "going down". The issue is Falcone and his investors "taking it down" for profit.

Simple question remains though.

Would you be lost without gps?

Unless they find a way to block out the sun and the stars, then I'll be ok.
