If you can get perfect coordinates from Apple Maps and your missiles have GPS, you're good to boom. It's not as though the missiles have an iPhone inside them.

But if your missiles have GPS surely you have satellites to get the coordinates yourself?

I don't think that follows. GPS access is universal; accurate mapping data is not. These rules are an attempt to ensure that precise coordinates for key targets are not available to anyone with a satnav system or smartphone.

Of course not! They choose their targets using Google Maps: nobody was ever fired for using Google Maps! :D
