In fact, GPS is essentially synonymous with satellite navigation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We call wearables and navigation systems GPS watches and GPS trackers (respectively), even though they support and cater to different navigation systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, you may be using (what we refer to) a GPS watch that uses a different Satellite system (such as GNSS) by default.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what\u2019s the difference between each system, and which one is the best for you? The following guide will answer these questions and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Global Navigation Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many GPS-enabled devices allow you to choose alternative satellite navigation (satnav)\/tracking systems that aren\u2019t GPS. You can even select different combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global civilian satnav systems like GPS fall under the umbrella of <a href=\"https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/difference-between-gnss-and-gps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Navigation Satellite Systems<\/a> (GNSS). Not all GNSSs are equal. There are currently two classifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>GNSS-1: Current first-generation navigation and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Satellite_Based_Augmentation_System\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">augmentation satellite systems<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GNSS-2: Next-generation civilian global satnav systems that will offer more precision and accuracy.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most GNSSs are gen 1 (GNSS-1) &#8211; mostly because they use a single frequency band. However, more manufacturers have begun to roll out dual-band devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All GNSSs have three main functions: positioning, navigation and timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Some work better than others, mainly because of their coverage and augmentation systems. Ultimately, each GNSS consists of a constellation &#8211; much like <a href=\"https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starlink<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s look at what separates GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. Let\u2019s look at them all individually first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GPS: What is It?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GPS-WATCH-768x1024.png\" alt=\"GPS watch\" class=\"wp-image-4854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GPS-WATCH-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GPS-WATCH-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GPS-WATCH-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GPS-WATCH-1536x2048.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">GPS watch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a North American GNSS developed and run by the United States government. Many consider it to be the first global Satnav system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the US government first instituted GPS in 1979, it intended it exclusively for military purposes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Navy would use it as a navigation system. It wasn\u2019t until 1983 that the US government finally allowed it for civilian use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of December 2023, the GPS constellation consists of roughly 31 operational satellites (35 in total).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With satellites regularly losing operability and NASA and the US Space Force developing and launching new ones, this number tends to fluctuate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the GPS constellation is so well-distributed that people should be able to spot at least four of its satellites regardless of their location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes GPS available in almost every country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more satellites in range, the more accurate triangulation and navigation will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, GPS-capable devices are accurate within a 4.9 meters radius under clear open, unobstructed skies. Incidentally, accuracy is also dependent on not only your location but the device you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, GPS coordinates you capture through professional <a href=\"https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/gps-land-surveying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GPS land surveying<\/a> equipment will likely be more accurate than those of wearables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GLONASS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-24.jpg\" alt=\"Glonass Global Positioning System Red Arrows\" class=\"wp-image-4852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-24.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-24-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-24-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/skynetwave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-24-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Glonass Global Positioning System Red Arrows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an effort to stay competitive with the United States of America, Russia released its own global satellite navigation system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They dubbed it Global&#8217;naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema\\Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Russian government (Soviet Union) began development in 1976.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of December 2023, they\u2019ve launched roughly over 145 satellites since then.

Additionally, the Russian government plans to release new, improved implementations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All known current versions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>GLONASS-KM: Currently in development and research.
