I'm trying to figure out if you are serious about "Chinese Map Obfuscation Schemes". Your description of SA and DGPS is spot on, but I can't think of any reason that China would want to obfuscate their maps now that satellites have mapped their country.

Paranoia, maybe? But yeah, it's rather pointless. Even more so since GPS vendors have access to the algorithm.
