GNSS

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is the general name to describe a satellite navigation system providing global geopositioning cover.
Two GNSS are currently fully operational: the classic GPS developed by the United States (historically, GPS has remained in everyone’s memory and we still currently wrongly use this term to refer to any navigation system), and the Russian system GLONASS. Other systems should see the light of day very shortly: Galileo (European project), Beidou (Chinese project) and IRNSS (Indian project).
