It still is. GPS satellites broadcast many codes for positioning. Civilians do not have access to military P(Y) or M codes which are far more accurate then the civilian C/A or L2C codes.
Your thinking of when they turned off Selective Availability, which is an intentional degradation of the C/A code to reduce accuracy.

Reply to comment by DaveOJ12 in TIL 'The Land of Nod' is originally a biblical reference of a sort of purgatory where Cain was exiled after murdering Abel -- rather than a 'dreamland' sleepytime dealie as it is now colloquially known. by quicxly
In one of the Nod temples there is Able’s sarcophagus.
