The aurora borealis is the *effect*, not the *cause*.  The solar activity is what causes the aurora, and is the same thing that is disrupting GPS signals; but the aurora itself doesn't have any effect on the signals.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bryce]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 23rd 2008 5:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Northern Lights May Increasingly Interfere With GPS]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/23/northern-lights-may-increasingly-interfere-with-gps/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/23/northern-lights-may-increasingly-interfere-with-gps/</guid><description><![CDATA[Whoever wrote that article didn't do his homework.

It is not a replacement for a good map. It is however a great supplement to one though. I don't like the main roads or freeways and has heped me to find new and wonderful places that I would not have found if I didn't have it. When I bought the Ducati I knew I would need a bridge of some sort to cross water. I've known for a long time that taking the train tracks might be a bad idea. If it told me I lived across the street from where i've been for 20 years. I'm sure I would recognize the lawn that needed to be mowed after being gone two weeks as mine and woundn't pull in the nieghbors driveway. It's been a fun and useful tool that adds to a good map not replace it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lmst2duc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2008 12:58AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Northern Lights May Increasingly Interfere With GPS]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/23/northern-lights-may-increasingly-interfere-with-gps/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/23/northern-lights-may-increasingly-interfere-with-gps/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't use GPS, for me MAP is better don't have to worry about the Northern Lights or satellites]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2008 1:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Northern Lights May Increasingly Interfere With GPS]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/23/northern-lights-may-increasingly-interfere-with-gps/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/23/northern-lights-may-increasingly-interfere-with-gps/</guid><description><![CDATA[Been using my Garmin......for over 2 years.
