* GNSS - Global Navigation Satellite System is a combination of both GPS and GLONASS. The satellites are positioned so that six are observable nearly 100 percent of the time from any point on Earth.
GPS (Global Positioning System) was developed by the United States Department of Defense and managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing.
GLONASS (GLObal’naya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema) was developed by the former Soviet Union and now operated by the Russian Space Forces.
