Speaking of “Government work”, remember that the satnav systems that
give you your position accurate down to a few metres, with a
corresponding time base down to a few tens of nanoseconds, are all
Government-run.

Yeah and I remember when if you weren't military they gave you your
position accurate down to 100 meters. Lifting SA was one of the few
worthwhile things the Zipper did. But remember the government giveth and
the government taketh away. I doubt that would ever happen with SA; too
much of the government uses COTS GPS receivers.

I have an operational Garmin II. The granularity is a tenth of a mile
because that's all there was.
