<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before GPS satellites were launched, cruise missiles used radar, maps, and intelligence. I suppose what the article is pointing out is that a complete map is not needed, but then, the cruise missiles only had crude maps.

destination without GPS so it seems like it's quite doable.<br clear="none">
