@ai6yr
I can see the scene now at the local diner.
"Hey Gordie, those rows of corn you planted look a little shaky".
"Yeah Jim, my GPS went out with that solar storm, first time I got to use that excuse". 😅😅

@ai6yr what I miss in this story is whether the GNSS receivers would have a high uncertainty (GNSS term DOP or Dilution of precision) and just ignored this (which I find hard to believe in such a high-precision use) or the receivers had very accurate but wrong readouts (which I would find difficult to understand from what I know of GNSS reception).

@PE4KH @ai6yr I had the same question, and the GNSS folk I know never heard of any disruption.

@ai6yr Have you heard anything about aviation impacts of the solar storm? I haven’t seen anything myself.

ai6yr, 15 days ago

@garthc Haven't seen any major impacts...

@ai6yr Curious as to why ag was affected but not aviation.
