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.
