GPS was developed by the US military, to accurately pinpoint a units location, which is needed for things like more accurate artillery fire, medevacs, arial and nautical navigation, etc. It wasnt meant for civilians to replace thier paper maps, although it does come in very handy. The US military can shut off civilian use of GPS in an instant, if necessary.
