Ten
years ago on this day (May 1st 2000), the United States Government
announced
that they would be shutting off Selective Availability (SA) on
Global Positioning Satellites, effectively giving an instant
upgrade to tens of thousands of GPS receivers. Literally overnight,
the accuracy of civilian GPS receivers improved 10
times. On May 3rd 2000, Dave Ulmer placed the first "GPS
Stash" (geocache) at
this location. Read more history here.
