Date: Mon, 1 May 2000 17:41:00 -0700
For those of you who own or are planning on getting a GPS. The President
announced today that they are turning off SA (the intentional inaccuracies
built into GPS). We will finally have accuracy of about 15 meters at all times
with our units.

Now if only my GPS worked!

My Magellan ColorTrak died this weekend and is going back for warranty repair.  Bummer.

I actually had to think about what direction was home!  (One hour at around 80 degrees.  45 minutes at 330.  What direction is home, without a calculator or GPS, etc?  About 45 minutes at roughly 210.)
