GPS effected?

To those who use GPS either from shore or boat, now that the war has been joined have you seen any change in the GPS system? I wonder if the militray has changed the signals.

Good question... but I read that they can regulate it by region so it should have no impact on the rest of the world...

John - I'd imagine they would turn it down locally (our area) too so as to prevent a terrorist from using it to pin point targets. Come to think of it, several times last year I saw guys with hand held GPS's walking around downtown. At the time I didn't think much of it, I figured they were just playing around. But now.......who knows.

Clam - I was offshore at the canyon the weekend after 9/11. An S-3 Viking plane buzzed our boat twice. Came so low we could clearly see the pilots waving back at us!
