yep right from their web site :
There is currently NO global back-up system to GPS.
There is currently NO universal US back-up system.
What would happen if the next solar flare disrupted service from our satellites? What if anti-US or terrorist groups jammed our satellites? Without a viable non-GPS based back-up system, the US is at a great security risk. It would cost billions, perhaps trillions of dollars if our GPS signal was taken out?
Charts and a compass i would hope most bigger ships would still be using both . even in the Military we train map 1st then GPS even now modern Mortars use a computer but all use a plotting board as a back up (old School ) if stuff decides not to work . I see this a fear based marketing ploy
