Actually, that's not quite correct. There are discussions about establishing interoperability between the various systems. Remember it's not just the US who has a GPS network any more. The Russians I believe have a system as do the folks in India and China. These are in various states of development but I believe in all cases at least some devices have been deployed to space. The US is also pushing out a new GPS standard and I haven't kept track where that project is but it would be much more advanced. I think in the future you'll systems that can use som or all of these options at once. The 32 channel stuff still works nicely but there are probably more improvements in the new 66 channel other than channel count. I would assume better receivers and error correction would be included.
