GPS navigation, what's next could it be Dark Ice?

[WILDEBILL308]

I can remember when people were talking about GPS and how great it would be. Well here is a link to the latest navigation system. Here is a tease from the article, "Current GPS users get navigational assistance from a GPS receiver that triangulates their location through a series of radiofrequency signals beamed from the GPS satellite constellation. Our Dark Ice technology in development uses magnetic sensing as an alternative means of determining your location without the use of satellite signals."

That is very interesting, but I suspect that it's a few years away, so don't give up your GPS yet.  :

I see a problem with this system as you need to update nearly monthly a the earth's magnetic field is always changing.

I am pretty shure the people working on this know about that and know how to auto update.
