[Talk-us] Website showing the best time to survey with GPS.

[Mateusz Konieczny]

Note that for a typical GPS, especially GPS in smartphone I would expect that
this effects will be not really noticeable in affecting accuracy.

Maybe except massive solar storms like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859

I tried to check sources, but quick search found nothing really good, except some things
like

"If a flare is particularly large, the resulting turbulence in our upper atmosphere 
could disrupt radio signals and GPS navigation, for example."

what seems to confirm that you need really unusual activity to have results.
