Au contraire jimisbell, It all began in 1978, when the Global Positioning System (which at the time was known as Navigation System with Timing and Ranging, or NAVSTAR) was
launched by the United States Department of Defense. Eleven satellites were placed into orbit, and they were originally intended for military use. However, it wasn't until 1985 that the first GPS receiver was created by a European electronics company, Sercel. The next year, Magellan GPS was founded in Santa Clara, California.Magellan GPS Leads the World in GPS Technology.
There are a wide variety of companies that provide receivers for Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Among these companies is Magellan GPS. Although Magellan GPS was not the first electronics company to develop GPS receivers, they have been innovators in the field ever since Magellan GPS was founded in 1986.
FYI...
I served in the military for several years and my job being out in the bush, on the mountain, or in the water you had to be able to identify your location on the map,(for obvious reason of course) after being deployed to "Desert Storm" first of many, we were issued the Magellan, and to make a long story short -it was spot on.
May not answer your question, but the GPS and Megellan came thru for me and my team.
