A(not so) "funny" story of US GPS: The military purposely built in inaccuracy for civilian use. Still way better than other methods, but not targeting precise. The FAA figured out a way to post-process the GPS signal, so they could provide aircraft the ability to fly off one runway and right to the approach point of the landing one, accurate enough for complete IFR. So they built it. Sorta blew the military only use out of the water, so to speak, and I hear it actually was s lightly more accurate thatn the mil version.
