    That’s what I thought. I figured things like the original garmins had a quantity unlimited but very narrowly usable data plan, like old kindles. I did know that gps was invented before the internet was widespread, but I figured that today it was like fax machines, where the vast majority don’t actually have a landline connection anymore and use the internet instead.

    Based on this comment section, I gathered that it was something else, but still didn’t expect it to be fucking radio.

      It’s a pretty clever system honestly, I found it fascinating.

        I don’t feel dumb, lol. It’s very far from my areas of interest. I’m sure I’ve got more incorrect opinions about all sorts of fields I don’t think much about. The important thing is, I know how to research.

      You also didn’t open with “how do you expect it to work” without actually knowing how it works.
