I'm amazed that all of Sumatra is 100 feet over from where it was a couple of days ago.

Can you source that? I hadn't seen that factoid before.

I read that. That is profound. Think of the energy involved. It is truly awe-inspiring.

Damn GPS...It would have taken a hundred years to figure it out the old way.

However, the "built in" error was removed not long ago and that was 100 feet so I'm not betting on the new location yet.

Look at "Earthquake Park" in Anchorage." A vast area of land that dropped 20 feet when their 9.2 hit in 1964.

.I've heard this rumor but not from what I consider a reliable source. Do you have a reliable source?

Does this leap of Sumatra mean the GPS in the car will have to be reprogramed. What about military applications of GPS or mapping done by the military. For example if our navy needs to send a missile to a specific coordinate, will this cause specific problems with destruction of targets?
