  1. The Russian navigation app 2GIS shows an ad for a place... in a completely different location. You’d think this “8 Марта” place is right here, but it’s actually on the opposite side of the city. What you see is just a banner ad.

    Thanks @khambogrus for the picture

  2. Swiss researchers are scaling up trials of quantum navigation systems that don't rely on GPS. This breakthrough could provide dependable positioning in contested or denied environments — with implications for defense, shipping, aviation, and autonomous vehicles.

  7. MakeUseOf: The compass app on your phone is not as reliable as you think. “You’ll notice that, outside of the magnetized needle, old-school compasses don’t typically feature magnetic metals. The compass chassis is often made out of plastic, and if it’s made out of metal, it is a non-magnetic metal like aluminum or brass. This is because other magnetic parts can interfere with the magnetized […]

    “On 13 December, the rare alignment of true north, magnetic north and grid north - known as the three norths - leaves England at Berwick-upon-Tweed, bringing a remarkable three-year chapter to a close.
    Magnetic north is monitored using geomagnetic data from the British Geological Survey, combined with Ordnance Survey’s National Grid to track how this alignment shifts over time..."

  10. "We now leave #navigation to our #phones. The result: more of us are getting hopelessly lost." #JohnHarris

    "#GPS has cut us off from a basic human skill. It’s no wonder #mountain #rescuers are being called out so often. [...] Between 2019 and 2024, the total number of #rescues had increased by 24%, and there was a marked jump among the 18 to 24 age group, among whom callouts almost doubled. [...] across #Britain, there is evidently a mounting problem about the gap between people’s urge to experience wild and open spaces, and their ability to cope when they actually get there. [...] research suggesting that “people with greater lifetime GPS experience have worse #spatialmemory during self-guided navigation”. [...] retested 3 years after the initial research, when they found that “greater GPS use since initial testing was associated with a steeper decline in hippocampal-dependent spatial memory”. The #hippocampus is the part of the brain that deals with navigation: among London taxi drivers, the need to memorise so many geographical details was found to cause it to increase in size. But here were findings that suggested the opposite: reliance on automated #directions reducing people’s capacity to navigate for themselves." #cartography
