== History ==
It seems odd to me that the relativistic effects on the clock are discussed in the first paragraph of the Predecessors section. [[User:Kendall-K1|Kendall-K1]] ([[User talk:Kendall-K1|talk]]) 20:49, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
Me too. I moved the text above the predecessors section. It may deserve its own design section. I also broke text into more paragraphs. I think the section needs more sequencing and organization. [[User:CuriousMind01|CuriousMind01]] ([[User talk:CuriousMind01|talk]]) 02:39, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:Yes it does but that's a great start. Thanks. Personally I would like to see more about the ground based predecessors like LORAN but I suspect I'm more of an historian than our general readers. [[User:Kendall-K1|Kendall-K1]] ([[User talk:Kendall-K1|talk]]) 16:42, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
== What is meant by satellites_nominal and satellites_current? ==
Could we get some agreement on what is meant by satellites_nominal (=Total Satellites in the infobox) and satellites_current (=Satellites in Orbit in the infobox)? To me, satellites_nominal aka "Total Satellites" is meant to indicate the full constellation size, i.e. 32, while satellites_current aka "Satellites in Orbit" is meant to indicate how many total GPS satellites are currently orbiting, which is 70. Meanwhile, the other number that's been tossed around, 31 - which represents how many ''active'' GPS satellites there are currently - doesn't belong - nor does 39, which is the total number of ''active'' and ''reserve'' satellites. The infobox has been changed multiple times because we cannot seem to agree on these items' meanings. [[User:Jtrevor99|Jtrevor99]] ([[User talk:Jtrevor99|talk]]) 13:31, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
