GPS is used a lot in logistics for real-time tracking of trains, trucks, wagons and containers. Of course they don’t need GPS to move, but you need it to coordinate transportation. The train needs to be there on time when the ship arrives, the truck needs to be there in time for the train.
If that process doesn’t work it isn’t only costly, the disruptions propagate. As in your train or flight will be delayed, or you’ll be late for work due to traffic.
