๐ Throwback to May 1, 2000: A Game-Changer in Navigation History ๐
On this day, U.S. President Bill Clinton made a monumental decision that forever changed how we navigate our world.
Before May 1, 2000, GPS technology was a closely guarded tool of the military, with intentionally degraded signals for the public.
But then came the game-changer: Clinton announced that highly accurate GPS would be available to everyone!
Thanks to this move, finding our wayโwhether on a road trip, a hiking trail, or even across oceansโbecame easier and more precise than ever before.
