Copenhagen Suborbitals has a blog-post about those limits:

  By default all GPS units have some built-in limits (so-called COCOM
  limits) that prevents them from providing any data if the velocity
  exceeds 515 m/s at altitudes above 18 km. These artificial limits are
  built into GPS receivers to prevent bad guys from using them in
  missiles and other nasty stuff.
... and proceed to figure out a way around ...
