Yes, but you can also navigate via radio beacons, or by simple map and protractor if you really had too.
Obviously, planes took off and landed just fine for many years before GPS was invented / released to the public.
Ironically the incident that caused it to be released was flight KAL 007 from Anchorage to Seoul. Plane misnavigated into Soviet airspace and was shot down. A congressman aboard, plus about 200 others, were killed.

- dalore 8y agoI'm pretty sure you could replace a paper map in a car with a fake paper map. Analog spoofing.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoSomeone hacking your paper, in person, means you have much larger problems. Most hacks rely on attacks of scale. They don't care about you. They care about some percentage of "you" that makes their hack work. Of course, the very hacking has changed significantly since I started years ago. It used to be about exploration and investigation - it was much more akin to trespassing than anything else. Now, it's about making money and influence control. That saddens me.
