[time-nuts] New GNSS chipsets

[Joseph Gray]

Tom,

Yes, that was my take on this as well. With easily available sub-meter
position fixes, I believe that even more uses will be found for this
technology.

With the Broadcom chipsets going into phones, Google Maps will no longer
tell you to take the highway ramp, when you are already on the highway :-)

Just remember to turn off your phone and wear your tin foil hat, when you
don't want "the man" knowing where you are :-)
