Navigating with satellites - from GPS to Galileo

It's hard to imagine a day without satellite navigation. GPS equipment wouldn't function. The navigation system in the car wouldn't show which route to follow. Cruise ships would have to stay in port. Oil would become scarce since large tankers would have trouble finding their way at sea. Airplanes would be delayed because they would need to make use of old-fashioned methods of navigation. Rescue teams would not as speedily reach those who need their service.
