The parent poster is not talking about that, he/she is talking about the COCOM limits placed on GPS receivers sold commercially: the GPS would not provide an output when traveling faster than 1900km/h at an altitude over 18km (though some manufacturers used a logical OR instead of an AND). This limits still applies and you need to get a special license if you want to get these limits removed (or you can buy Chinese). |

>And the precision used to be regulated, not by expense, but to give the military the superior tool.
Which was, as I said, referring to Selective Availability, and has nothing to do with the arbitrary limits which are still imposed on US made receivers.
