I think the lack of a universal time signal would have more immediate effects than the lack of positioning.
Positioning is still possible without satellites, albeit with reduced precision, see LORAN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LORAN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LORAN
- sn_master 5y agoThere still is universal time signal, at least in the US (don't know if that still makes it "universal") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVH https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVH
- LeoPanthera 5y agoThat's true (though I think you meant to link to WWVB), though most traditional time signals are broadcast in the longwave band and can only be reliably received at night. Some areas of the planet do not have a time signal, the most obvious example is Australia.
