Does it use military mode (the one that is even more precise than regular GPS)? Now that would be great reverse engineering project :)

Where was the GPS receiver mounted? These things need view of the sky, no?

I don't know the answer to either of these questions. It appeared to be a standard GPS receiver, but some investigation would reveal whether the manufacturer supports military mode. http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:7hhk_GsNmTQJ:w...

I never saw it on the car, but the antenna mount had a hinge that would allow it to stick out from the side of the car. But that would be rather conspicuous—I think that's why the antenna is so large.
