Funny GPS Readings at a Public Location

I was debating with myself whether to post about this or not, but I thought that any external enemy of the country would have probably figured this out by now on their own because they are probably doing the same thing also.

Anyway, when I was processing the pictures I took at a public location (which I won't say which one for now) recently, one funny thing I noticed was that the Global Positioning System (GPS) reading on those pictures were way, way off. In fact they were so way off that they were registering in some other province in the country.

You see, my Smartphone was set such that whenever I take a picture, its GPS coordinates would be recorded also. At first I thought something was wrong with my phone, but it just happened that I also took pictures at other locations that same day, and they were all correct. Only the pictures at that particular location was wrong.

Now I will not speculate as to why this is the case, but I think it is a good thing to have because it will make it more difficult for external enemies to use GPS guided weapons on certain places.

Of course it could also work against us, meaning if a target we want to hit using GPS guided weapons uses the same thing also, then we won't be able to hit it. But I think there may be ways to counter this, I haven't researched them yet, though.
