Types of Satellite Navigation Systems:

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS): These systems provide global coverage for navigation.

Regional Navigation Satellite Systems: These systems provide regional coverage, often enhancing or supporting global systems.

GPS – United States

GLONASS – Russia

BeiDou – China

Galileo – European Union

Regional Navigation Systems:
