Anyone else notice anomalies lately in GPS or time systems?

We utilize GPS trackers and over the past couple of weeks we've noticed location skew. For example, a tracker shows in an intersection, when it should be in a building several hundred feet over. And then last night I had to reset a radio time service sync clock. It showed sync'd but was 2 min off from my phone, which is usually pretty close. This morning it's back in sync.

I wonder if the military is playing with offsets again due to the global situation.
Or if aliens are planning an attack using our own GPS satellites.

I have, thought it was just me.

I've been plotting a new Run n Gun route at VOD and tagging stage locations. I get back to the computer and nothing looks right at all. Using OnX, Garmin and a couple others
 
360 app has been funny for awhile..I thought it's because they were deliberately slowing it down in hopes I spring for the paid version. Keeping track of your loved ones is peace of mind. But their locations are off a bit sometimes too.

I see in the news articles warning that Putin may put nukes in space. One spin was that he might be targeting GPS satellites. People don't realize how devastating that would be even on a non military level. We have lots of infrastructure depending on GPS and its clocks. And how would I be able to find the nearest McDonald's for coffee?

I do recall thinking that the GPS "glitched" in weird ways on occasion over the last several months and other times, the phone and / or car indicates that the signal gets lost more than I would expect it to.

I also have a GPS sync'd clock in the travel trailer that used to be spot on, but now it's off by about 3/4 of an hour. I might take the battery out, let it resync, and see what happens.

I saw where our congress people are worried about some new anti satilite weapon he has but they didn't elaborate. Where is this nukes in space info coming from?

Makes no sense.. doesn't our GPS system also use Russian sattelites? If the Russians wanted to mess with our GPS all they'd have to do is send.. bad... signals. ohhhhh

Sounds like the simulation is finally glitching out. I hope the throat tubes aren't too hard to remove when I wake up in the tank.

It's friday night. Please direct all talk of tubes in your throat to the basement where we can ridicule you properly
