You've got some explaining to do /sci/, is the earth really not a globe after all? I kept seeing mouthbreathers saying GPS debunks flat earth, now what?

good question dude, i wonder why a professional scientist didnt use it before saying gps doesnt work there
>As if the conditions weren't challenging enough, Williams found he couldn’t fly the drones in GPS "autopilot" mode, which allows stable, autonomous flight. Williams said he suspected the strong magnetic pull of the South Pole was to blame. Without GPS mode, Williams could still pilot the drone, but he needed to use manual controls almost exclusively, "and that's where the skill level of the pilot requirement increased," Williams said.

You havent read any of the links in op have you?
>The coverage is a lot better if you add Glonass satellites as well - almost 60 Deg. above the horizon
Almost, it doesnt reach it,, first link has a thread where op cant seem to make gps work beyong 60 degrees (that is, in antartica)

If the Earth is so flat, explain the chronology of the ww2 pacific campaign. The chronology for ship movements only makes sense on a globe.

gps is supposed to cover the entire globe mouthbreather
it doesnt because satellites dont exist for gps purposes, there are just high altitude balloons
>b-but you would need gazillions of baloons
No retard, even in the current explanation only 24 satellites are needed to cover the entire planet
