Then just a few minutes ago (about 8:15pm Pacific)while parked at a truck stop. The GPS started alerting me that I was "Out of Route" by about 19 miles. The display showed me as in motion but yet I am parked. I have two separate GPS systems and both are doing the same thing. Did the Earth just move? Did the GPS sats just move? Anyone else notice this?? North Central Nevada here.

This so that our military has the coding to use our satellites but no one else does. That means domestic users also. Most GPS cell phone and other current systems also use the Russian GPS, which may not have been shut off and hence your less accurate reading. Then again its probably just your equipment. However, if you experience an extremely bright flash of light, don't walk to a window to check it out. [/quote] LOL... I'll take it as sign. :hiding: [/quote]

Did the Earth just move? Did the GPS sats just move?
Anyone else notice this??
