The question is: How close to perfect is GPS performance?

And your choices are:

• Absolutely perfect. 100 percent.
• Nearly perfect. The space segment functions flawlessly. The only problems are with jamming and user equipment.
• Almost nearly perfect. There have been a few hiccups in space, then there’s jamming, and user equipment weaknesses.
