The surface of the earth just shifted in a highly non-linear and non-uniform way. Places are not at the same coordinates or at the same distances from each other they were last week.
Re-read my post, I believe that the real use of Lockheeds Quantum GPS is for subterranian and submarine navigation more than it is for aircraft - hoever, if we can map the magnetosphere of other planets, say, mars, then this could be a non-satellite-dependant GPS for any body in space where we know the magnetic signature based on probes... although said probes could also double as GPS satellites for the planet they are probing should we add such equipment, it would seem.
Most people need an up-to-date map, not just a location on a map.
Most people only use GPS for local navigation.
How can this be measured? Can fluidx3d do martian magnetics? [0]

EDIT: "Mars does not have a magnetosphere"
ELI5: "how do electronics work when there is zero magnetic field around them? A complete antimagnetic environ?"
I've never heard any mention about making any electrical device work on a planet (such as mars) in a complete magnetically dark location?
How is there gravity on mars if there is no magnetic field for a planet, and how can mass, the size of a planet not produce magnetism/gravity if its not made of iron-sh (the RED of the planet)
ELI5, please.
