Makes you want to research about GPS systems and their interactions with receivers on the ground to see the inner details. For example, if they use cruise missiles with the GPS system, are these using extra numerical systems to regulate positioning and direction? I know the GPS receivers system (with a little extra math) can figure out an altitude not just the position on the ground.
I wonder if any of those kinds of numerical artifices are found in the data written down and no one noticed it yet?
