GPS has become so ubiquitous I honestly forgot that it was something that could be owned. It is cool to see some competition in the GPS world.

GPS systems are not so much 'owned' as 'paid for'.

GPS is aging technology, its satellites are dying already and its limits are showing clearly. It won’t be around forever.

That's not true... The U.S. is actually in the process of launching the next generation of GPS satellites.
