GPS system 'close to breakdown'

[WhereRWe?]

I'd be willing to share it with Maine ,NY and South Carolina....

Sheesh! It's you guys in "the south" that are using up all the signal! The "film container in every lightpost" crowd - aka "Nashville style" geocaching - takes a lot of satellite bandwidth.

I think you might be onto something here. It is not the number of cachers with GPSr's that use up the signal it is the number of caches in an area. More signal should be availabe in the less populated areas of Maine than anywhere else.

Exactly! But it's too bad that Sirius Satellite Radio didn't have as much signal as the GPS system. The only time I've lost a GPS signal with our Garmin 60CSX is in the "Big Dig" tunnel in Boston. I've lost signal with Sirius under a single big tree! LOL!
