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

Each GPS manufacturer must launch or pay to have launched their own GPS satellite(s). 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.

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 worsed case back down to Earth.

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.

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

#1 bullshit

I agree with #3.

Sounds like questionable info to me. I've never heard of a satellite crashing into another planet, it would have to leave orbit and fly for God knows how long before reaching anywhere. And I'm pretty sure the gps units don't beam anything at the satellites.

I wonder if there is anybody that believes anything that #1 said.

Actually, in 1999 the Mars Climate Orbiter crashed on the surface of Mars due to a metric-imperial mix-up. But then, that that wasn't a GPS satellite.

#1, nice science fiction crap...poor joke though

#1 forgot to say "April Fools" at the end of his speech.

Good price. The price is lower than the map updates on my garmin.

#1 is a dumb ass. Where is the big ass dish antenna to point at the satellite to talk to it. All these GPS units are is receivers. They don't talk to anything dumbass.

Mine talks to me when no one else is around and tells me to kill you.

Wow, #1 isn't even smart enough to fix his typos before re-posting his gibberish on every GPS deal listed.
