Consumer-Grade GPS to Suffer in 2011?

Infosyncworld, among others, noticed that GPS, er, sucked in December - and posted that it was due to a solar flare. My own local paper elaborates with a story from the AP detailing how we can expect more of this excitement in the future:

So get your GPS fun in now, before the sun starts having its way with it.
