A growing number of new GNSS systems are being launched today. Though GPS has entered the vernacular to mean satellite positioning, when we are talking about any satellite navigation system, the accepted term is GNSS – Global Navigation Satellite System. Software GPS can do the hard work in GPS reception. Until now, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) users around the world have had to depend on American GPS or Russian Glonass signals. Most of us have now heard of GPS (the American Global Positioning System), Glonass (the Russian GNSS), and Galileo (the European GNSS). The main systems are GLONASS from Russia, Galileo from the European Union, and Compass/Beidou from China. At presence, GNSS includes the American GPS, Russian GLONASS, China's Compass (Beidou), the European Union's Galileo system. GPS and GLONASS are being upgraded; Galileo is coming. Use of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) has become commonplace. A Software GPS Receiver can Software GPS is coming to the consumer market and will bring us more sensitive, more accurate and more flexible navigation solutions. A classic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver will not be able to follow all the changes and needs to be replaced if the user wants to benefit from the extra new signals. GNSS is an abbreviation for Global Navigation Satellite System.
