Why?
GPS jamming doesn't break maps on the phone, or the compass on the phone.
So no need for paper maps or old-school compass.
You just don't get the "where-am-I" functionality of the maps, but you can move the screen yourself, just like in the old maps.
- tonfa 9y agoAlso recent phones have glonass and galileo support right? (So you don't rely just on gps).
- qubex 9y agoNote: the USA demanded that Galileo signals be broadcast on frequencies that it could block/jam without simultaneously running its own GPS signals, so as to interdict potential enemies without degrading its own forces’ ability to use GPS (which one assumes would be switched to encrypted-only mode in the event). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation)?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation)...
