What US Military Giveth Can Easily be Taketh Away

Not that TPC maps are much better compared to Russian and French maps. It only shows that one day they may come up with banning civilian use of GPS, or maybe even the internet - another US army contribution to the global spread of terrrorism ;-)

Galileo looks like a good Idea, but having collaborated with ESA and seen their chaotic organisation it's possible the Sahara will have been turned into a car park for the city called Europe before the last satellite is put in place.
