Imagine how different our daily routines would be without GPS technology.
Paper maps would be used to navigate from point A to point B and parcel delivery tracking would be impossible.
Geocaching would never have come into existence !!!
This transformation traces back to a special event on May 2, 2000 - dubbed Blue Switch Day by geocachers.
Before May 2000, Selective Availability restricted accurate GPS technology to military use.
However, on Blue Switch Day, the U.S. government made a landmark decision which opened up accurate GPS technology for public use.
Geocachers commemorate this day as a milestone, marking it with events and celebrations.
Come and join us to celebrate the 24th Anniversary and receive the souvenir for your profile.
