Didn't early GPS have fudge factor on the most precise bits? As such you could only get to a few meters of accuracy. Not critical for sea navigation or even to general positioning when paper maps were still used.

Consumer GPS is still disabled at high speeds. I would argue the analogy doesn't carry due to harm and error rate differences.
