L’incroyable précision des horloges atomiques
Elles sont peu connues, et pourtant les horloges atomiques sont indispensables aussi bien à nos télécommunications qu’au #GPS. Elles servent aussi à tester des théories fondamentales de la physique. Et leurs prochaines applications sont encore plus impressionnantes.

Oh and I got GPS working too! The least amount of troubleshooting required, I just had to enable "Location" in the settings app 
The reason I didn't find it was because it was "hidden" under "Privacy & Security". I'm sure all of that will be baked in to the Welcome app at some point to save you from having to go look for everything yourself, so no biggie!
Satelliten-Navigation: Russland stationiert mehr Jammer in der Nähe zu Estland
Systeme bei der russischen Stadt Kingisepp sollen Kommunikation stören, Radarsysteme ausschalten und Kontrolle über das elektromagnetische Spektrum erlangen.
Hvis man har en gammel bil, og gerne vil have en moderne GPS navigations-device som ikke er en telefon, hvad findes der som er godt og bliver holdt opdateret?
Jeg har forsøgt at finde noget godt på F-droid, men fraværet af live-opdateret trafik, og navigation der tager hensyn til det, er virkelig utroligt trælst.

Lithuania blames Russia for a large rise in GPS jamming incidents.
Russia is ramping up its GPS jamming operations against Lithuania, with pilots particularly affected by such interference.
Vilnius says it has identified more than ten locations in the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad "from where Russia is causing this interference".
依賴 GPS 或增認知障礙風險 減弱空間記憶力 的士救護車司機發病死亡率最低成證據
哈佛研究團隊最新發表在《英國醫學雜誌》的研究顯示，的士司機和救護車司機的阿茲海默症相關死亡率在所有職業中最低，僅約 1%，遠低於全體職業平均的 4%。研究人員分析 890 萬份美國死亡記錄發現，這些需要即時空間導航的職業能強化海馬體功能，而海馬體正是阿茲海默症最早受損的腦部區域。專家警告，現代人過度依賴 GPS 導航可能削弱大腦的空間記憶能力。
