You’ve likely come across GPS technology. A driver hops in a car, enters a destination, and a device tells them how to get there. But what you may not know is that starting in May 2000, GPS changed. Until that point, GPS for civilians—anyone outside of the military—was purposely not very precise. Locations could be off by up to 109 yards (100 meters). But all that changed when the U.S. government decided that this was no longer needed for national security. Suddenly, GPS for everyone was very accurate. This prompted some people to start thinking that maybe they could have some fun using GPS technology.
