Reply to comment by MrWrock in TIL that the European Union developed a satellite navigation system called Galileo, which can provide an accuracy of up to 20 cm (0.7ft) on smartphones, while GPS only reaches around 3 meters (10ft) by apeowl

Yep. When I was in the Army in the late 90’s/early 00’s we would hold our military gps and a consumer gps (probably a garmin, I would guess) and you could see instantly how much more accurate the military one was.
