    Here goes my Peakmaster impression:

    OK, I sm somewhat of an blowhole in satellite data so here:

    Each GPS manufacturer must launch or pay to have launched their own GPS satellite(s) out of my doughnut. The GPS unit in your car can only "speak" to it's own company's satellite. The satellites in turn "speak back" to the individual GPS units. I wish a girl would "speak" to me. That is why they were so expensive several years ago.

    The bigger companies have more units communicating with the distinct possibility of overload or crash, but I still can't get laid. This has happened many times recently with Garming and TomTom since they are the most popular. If too many people are using their GPS at the same time, the satellites overload and can actually crash into another planet, star, meteor or asteroid...or worsed case back down to Earth, luckily I'll be safe from harm as I live in my parent's basement.

    Also, the beams that are transmitted as the GPS units "speak" to the satellites can cause beam deflection errors which usually occur on bridges or the entrances to tunnels. Additionally, GPS radar microwave beams can be warped and/or "wrapped" from satellites that are about to transpond and overload because of too many people beaming to them at once. I once microwaved my head to see what it felt like, maybe that's why I sm such a tard...

    Also, the satellites can lock their beams to the wrong GPS units and it is possible to reeive someone elses meant transmission which force people to get totally lost. For example, you live in San Francisco but you receive the satellite beam from the TomTom satellite unit of a person living in Prague. This is why I only buy offbrand GPS units like Nextar, or I would if

    Peakmaster impression:

    It is important to read what I am stating as I hold a Phd in Talking out of my A$$ and "OMG! I'm a tool"ness. For you simpletons, which most of you are, that's big knowledge.

    Here is the bottom line regarding portable GPS units. You need not read anything else on the subject but this, unless you actually want, you know, facts.

    Each GPS manufacturer must launch or pay to have launched their own GPS satellite(s). Yes they launch them out of my doughnut, I keep them next to my colon. The GPS unit in your car can only "speak" to it's own company's satellite. The satellites in turn "speak back" to the individual GPS units. That is why they were so expensive several years ago. Now, with so many privately owned GPS satellites orbiting our planet, the costs have come way down due to reverse economics,supplemental demand, global warming conditions brought on by 8 years of Republicans and other geophysic,economic and hedonistic,intrinsic factors. Wow, look at all the big words I was able to find in the dictionary, I wonder what they all mean?

    The bigger companies have more units communicating with the distinct possibility of overload or crash. This has happened many times recently with Garming and TomTom since they are the most popular. If too many people are using their GPS at the same time, the satellites overload and can actually crash into another planet, star, meteor or asteroid...or worst case back down to Earth in highly uncivilized, population centers being a distinct, yet most efficient and attractive gravitational possibility. Okay, even I don't know wtf I'm trying to say here, but I'll sum it up as I ROCKZOR, now somebody be my friend? It has happened now 147 times with tight governmental controls and privacy acts.

    Also, the beams

Beam and microslurry overload causes the satellites server platitudes to reject or discard any more signals. The result is dissention or cumulative resonance.

    Since I'm an expert in Peakmaster's mom, I can clarify when he says "Phd", he means Permanent head damage.
