Great idea!
GPS has been used in
cruise missiles
since the mid 90s. Bombs really don't need any great accuracy.
For anyone reading this thread out of interest, I should clarify that the type of differential GPS I was talking about has a
relative accuracy
of less than a centimetre. The
absolute accuracy
is much larger, and depends on how long you record data for and how it is processed, but is probably a few metres.
So you can tell how far apart two things are, and the direction between them, with much greater accuracy than the actual position of either of them.
