RE: GPS

My Magellan GPS typically gets 4 - 7 fixes.  I've seen it get as high as 10
once since 1/1/2002 when I was paying attention to that screen.

Does anyone know the status of GPS these days?  Before Sept 11th, I would
go out on the porch and within a few minutes I would get 4 or 5 satellites
on my GPS.  Now it takes a long time to get 2, if I get them.  I assume
that they have turned off a bunch of satellites to keep others from using
them.  Does anyone know for sure?  I assume that if I get a time it is
pretty close.  A second or two is all I care about.
