  9. Thoughts to Consider • What does the general public expect to find at a website called “GPS.gov”? • A consumer guide to GPS user equipment? • A place to report erroneous map data? • A forum to voice concerns about GPS privacy? • Information about Galileo? • What does a GPS expert expect to find? • Which of the proposed website improvements matter the most to you? The least? Comments/inputs welcome – this is not a survey
