I know on diad V you can turn the gps off you need this ability to del to hospital. No cell phones, gps or electronic transmissions. You could kill someone and you don’t want to do that when delivering a pkg .


You can't "turn off" GPS tracking. A GPS system is a receiver. It does not transmit or broadcast any electromagnetic waves. The GPS unit receives transmission signals from usually about 5 or 6 satellites at any one time on it's civilian frequency, and from usually about 4 or 5 at any one time on it's Department of Defense frequency. The satellites are sending the signals, not your GPS unit. Your location is determined through a system of triangulation recorded by your Earth-based GPS unit. To "become invisible", you would need to locally broadcast at these two radio frequencies to overwhelm the satellite signals. What you really are doing when you think you are turning off your GPS unit is actually shutting down your radio transmitter (which can also be used to determine your location, albeit much less precisely than a GPS system.)
