Satellite navigation
A satellite navigation system or satnav system is a system of satellites that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage.
It allows small electronic receivers to determine their location (longitude, latitude, and altitude) to high precision (within a few metres) using time signals transmitted along a line of sight by radio from satellites.
The signals also allow the electronic receivers to calculate the current local time to high precision, which allows time synchronisation. A satellite navigation system with global coverage may be termed a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).
