Guess we are going to have to brush up on our hiding techniques. GPS recievers will be much more accurate in the (fairly) near future.

The United States has 30 satellites orbiting the earth, sending signals that allow holders of receivers to pinpoint their own and others' locations -- as used in car satellite navigation systems.

The EU aims also to have 30 satellites up in space by around 2010 with a fully operational Galileo system by 2012.
