No reason why we can't use the system, just like the other GPS. It's just a specialised receiver. There's no talk back channel. UK maps will still be available for the rest of the EU and so for us.

Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)
Interesting article. I guess some will perceive the civil service as over-manned so they believe it will have capacity if not the experience to negotiate Brexit despite the austerity cuts
Civil Service not ready to negotiate Brexit, says former head Lord Kerslake
Britain's Civil Service is not in a fit state to negotiate Brexit, according to a former top mandarin.
Lord Kerslake, who ran the Civil Service from 2012 to 2014, said he was "seriously concerned" about the capacity of Britain's officials to negotiate Britain's departure, adding that the decision to leave the single market would only exacerbate the issue.
Talking to Sky News at the launch of his report into the Treasury, Lord Kerslake also warned that former chancellor George Osborne and the institution itself had undermined their reputation with their extreme economic warnings ahead of the referendum...
Oliver Ilott, Senior Researcher, Institute for Government echoed Lord Kerslake's concerns... "DEFRA, for example, has lost about 35% of its staff and yet 80% of its work relates to Brussels so it's got a huge amount of Brexit work to do, and at the same time it's got the same list of domestic policies that it needs to deliver that it was given back in 2015, and so for departments like DEFRA, there is pressure beginning to build."

Sorry Andrew, but you really are a defeatist. No one is denying that there will be difficulties, but they will be overcome. I'm glad you weren't in charge in WW11; with your kind of defeatist attitude, we would have lost before we even started

Yes well it's a big wide worrying world out there and we'd really be much safer cosseted as we are by the EU which only has our best interests at heart after all. 
Maybe some people think a scare a day keeps the Brexit at bay...

It's useful to understand the issues surrounding Brexit. There's nothing defeatist in that, it's called being sensible.
In forums as in life, I prefer to play the ball and not the man. I commend this approach all round.
