Pulsars I think you mean on the 130, Geminis are deckers.

I'd always assumed that it was GPS. It would avoid the vulnerabilities of a distance-based system to detours (e.g. if a road was blocked) or to an inaccurate initialisation of the starting point.

Anyone know for sure?

This suggests that, unlike a previous suggestion, more than 3 Enviro300s will be refurbished to Sapphire standard.
