Selective Availability turned off
In the past, the civilian GPS-signal was degraded, and a more accurate Precise Positioning Service was available only to the United States military, its allies and a few others, mostly government users. However, on May 1, 2000, then US President Bill Clinton announced that this "Selective Availability" would be turned off, allowing all users to enjoy nearly the same level of access, with a precision of position determination of less than 20 meters.
