- omegaham 10y agoYep. I've had the "We can only receive" conversation with my SO on a few car trips through the countryside. "What? You have GPS. Why can't you search Google Maps on your phone?" Explaining the difference between cell towers and satellites in orbit is hard to do when the asker has no idea how cell phone infrastructure works. Which is pretty much everyone.
