Of course, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states (among other things) that "the more precisely position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known". As long as we're getting technical, shall we add quantum mechanics to the discussion? ;-) (I suppose that GPS breaks down as we approach the speed of light...)
