What I love about GPS is that it's so pervasive that maps have basically vanished overnight. And in 1000 years there will be no physical evidence of it.
The only thing future archaeologists would be able to tell is that one day, we stopped making maps, and suddenly we started listening to the stars.

29 0 ReplyGps satellites are in geostationary orbit so they won't deorbit for thousands of years.
24 0 ReplyYou're right, they'll just become deities because their motion is regular and visible.
Then when they do de-orbit, a great schism will occur and the resulting wars will end in the re-industrialization of society and they'll be replaced
