If a plane crashes on land, theres plenty of smoke to give away as to its location.
Under water a GPS is totally useless.
The black box may also emit a distress signal, hence giving away its location

Good people,

its amazing how airlines havent considered the use of GPS in their
tracking systems( IEC Broadband reporting) yet every other
valuable(cars, phones, laptops n even kids!) is GPS enabled. This is
quite shocking considering the NSA's rating of GPS systems as having
accuracy rates of 99.3% for last mile applications. With GPS the crash
site would have been located within minutes of going off radar. Guess
its something our local airlines could score a first in. Over to KQ
and KCAA.

Regards,
nyarotho.
