Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)

A global navigation satellite system is a network of satellites that transmit ranging signals used for positioning and navigation anywhere around the globe; on land, in the air or at sea. The US Global Positioning System (GPS), the Russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) and the upcoming European GALILEO system are examples of GNSS.
