The laser weapons were originally built as anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons. This is useful not only for maximum image clarity, but also for observing day-to-day changes. A spy satellite in sun-synchronous orbit can image the same spot at solar noon, every day, with maximum sunlight over the area on Earth being imaged.

Solar noon is an advantageous time for spy and other imaging satellites in sun-synchronous orbit, an orbital path that runs north-south over the North and South Poles.

military headquarters can, if necessary, stay in contact with subunits on the other side of the planet. Satellite communications ensure that that U.S. Army communications specialists set up a satellite dish in El Salvador, 2021.

Dealers don't have enough skin in the game to ruin customer relationships by yanking SD cards from customer vehicles.U.S. I suppose they could supply the VIN to dealership and have them deal with it, but that would be too heavy handed. I don't believe they have a viable way to actually stop the card from working as long as I don't use the Mazda toolbox again. If I received a warning of piracy as soon as Mazda Toolbox was paired with the card, then it would be a different story. They should have been more prudent to secure their intellectual property.

I'm well past the return window for the card, and they want me to go pay full price for a replacement card, and I have to give them info that they want? It's not a fair exchange at all. I bought the card for the sole purpose of turning on the traffic sign recognition system, which IMHO shouldn't be tied to having factory navigation. Will I be cooperating with Naviextras (not Mazda)? No.
Mazda toolbox hack update#
After it paired with the car after x miles driven, I was able to do a map update with Mazda Toolbox.

Figured it wouldn't hurt to do an update on the card with Mazda Toolbox. Purchased a "cheap" navi SD card on eBay for my 2021 CX-5 to enable the road sign recognition feature.
