So says the above article.  I've always thought GPS tools were great as a secondary verification of other information (maps, etc.) but not something you should bet your life on.  Recent news stories have provided further verification of that idea.  Perhaps I'll do an upcoming episode on Geocaching so I can discuss the virtues of GPS along with its limitations.
