GPS users take note

I saw this the other day but forgot to share the link. It appears that solar activity (solar flares and radio bursts) can have a negative effect on GPS receivers. I know a number of you Celestia folk are remote region global trekkers, and being so might need to rely on your GPS's during your outings... so please make note.
