I'm sure many of you have seen this. The military is planning the next generation of GPS satelites to replace the current ones and to rival the European Galileo project. According to the article, the new system will have 500 times the transmitter power of the current system. Can you imagine that signal for caching? Here is the link to the discovery.com article.

I dunno, something about this quote struck me as funny (emphasis added by me):

"Satellite navigation systems can allow users on the ground -- from jet pilots to lost motorists -- to locate any point on Earth."
