not just space weather, I am pretty sure the atmosphere is being disturbed by toxic human activity both by accident and on purpose

I've run outside every morning for decades and used Garmin with GPS since 2015, I've never had so much trouble

Garmins finally supports dual-band (L1+L5) and BeiDou on newest models but it's still not enough to compensate, I have to use a Stryd footpod to guarantee accurate distances/speed

btw BeiDou GPS blows away US GPS for number of sats and precision but despite Russia's GPS being legal in US, technically BeiDou is not

For resiliency reasons alone, it's been proposed to allow (stop software-disabling) BeiDou in the US, but the last time this was brought up, the administration ran out of time. It's a shame, because when there is precise coverage, it enables things like lane-level city navigation.

were other satellite positioning systems affected as well? was it checked that it wasn't just a misconfig on US command side?

Wouldn't RTK help mitigate this, as the base stations would also be affected by the atmospheric disturbance?

TL;DR:

1. Not today. November 2025. They don't make it clear.

2. It is unclear what is the source of the claim.

3. Navigation issues happened before, they state it right there. They were more disruptive as well.

Every presented link seem to have this awful Cloudflare js challenge.

Bad article overall.

The author has articles all over the topics. Everything is sensationalized.
