Full completion is estimated to 2014. The new standard allows for greater horizontal accuracy of 36 meters instead of 100 meters, and also sets a new baseline for transmission protocols that circumvent ionic interference."

    This is all very well, but can GPS help me find my MicroPenis(TM)? I haven't seen it for quite some time...

    This need is exceedingly urgent, as I have been unable to masturbate in the absence of my MicroPenis(TM). Can anyone shed any light on either issue?
