But the GNSS community carries much more breadth, depth, enthusiasm, and creativity than I had grokked, even after eight years of covering nearly every aspect of it.

To gain a grain of understanding of my kids, and in the name of researching future GPS markets, I attended a session on maximizing mobile media use by the millennials at CTIA Wireless in San Francisco.
