I've been a firm believer that GPS is optional for the average citizen and much of LE and emergency support. However, we have been sold on the technology

I am one that does my best to stay with the basic skills and limited technology. I like to be able to find north without a compass as well. However, we have been sold such a good of bills that it is hard to find maps of lakes and some parks that have landmarks and decent topo. Everything is going GPS readings

We are
going to be our own undoing

I honestly hope that this turns into another Y2K thing, but how often can we rely on that?
