"GPS Accuracy" is a bad misnomer

The navigation system is nothing like GPS, it uses an image-based system, not timed
radio signals from multiple sources, and is far more accurate than a GPS could ever be.
It is more like the system that guides cruise missiles.

But what can you say about a device whose acronym should have been MRSA - a more
catching headline might have been "MRSA - the Medical Miracle!!"
