I live in a suburb to the north of Stockholm, I have experienced the GPS jamming first hand.

There were a few days when my car's inbuilt GPS thought I was driving around in another suburb on the other side of the city.

Does anyone know if GPS has the abillity to do signed packets?

I mean, I'd rather the GPS fail completely, than giving me false data.

At least, it did not tell you, you were in Kaliningrad... 😉
