I'm Egyptian, I have no idea why that ban on GPS was instated, I knew people who like to go on Safaris and they had imported personal GPS units and they were all in shock.
The same ban was the reason people couldn't buy some Nokia phones that are equipped with GPS, if Apple hadn't complied they wouldn't have been able to sell the iPhone in Egypt.
Also, I have no idea where the OP got this 'I know most modern cars in Egypt come with GPS', it's plain wrong. There is not a single car that sells in Egypt with GPS, not even BMW 3 series cars that are assembled locally. Moreover, up until very recently there were no GPS maps to make use of that GPS in the city anyway, I have heard of a couple recent efforts but I don't know how far they've come.
